I have the same issue. I think it's the worm screws that go down the side, I need to remove the sunroof and clean all the tracks, lube, etc... not an easy task.

mine stopped working, and turned out the motor and cables need replacing. buy the stuff used, it's a ripoff new (of course, it's also a ripoff charging me $300 to fix it)
