Check with the allen key that the sun roof will go back . That then discounts the runners as a problem . Then check the switch , finally the motor .

i've got this problem with mine too - appartently its a common fault. The cable breaks on one side which means it wont go back properly. I'm going to have to get mine refurbished - the parts are quite expensive though!

I've just had mine refurbished. It was £100.00 for the parts plus £60.00 for labour. Works fine now.
