take the whole thing out, it isnt hard and look at it, some teeth could have snapped on the cog or the cable, just get a replacement unit from a scrappy. get a tilt and slide one out of a scirroco. either way they are self contained units and just swap over. shold be about 30 quid from a scrappy.

the only problem getting them out is trying not to scratch the sunroof panel on the roof when you get it out. get a mate to help and when you pull it out have one either side of the car. its a lot easier like that ;)
