there is a bit off adjustment on them.
or it could be a bent arm?

Can you push it up from inside when closed? Does it feel loose?

yeah i can push it from the inside, does seem loose.
when the sunroof is up one side is stiff while this side can be pushed up.

Then I'd say that there is a loose nut/bolt or as 2nd post an arm is bent.

You'll have to sit there and watch the operation. Then when open see if you can see or feel anything loose!
Hate those things as usually you cant see whats wrong! :angry:
