5k sunroof tilts but won't open much

[SIMON HOLTBY]

Wallace,

I had the same problem with a '90 5k. Roof tilts OK but only slides back
so far stops and you have to wind it closed with the emergency handle.
I traced the problem to a faulty micro switch in the motor unit. 
The roof starts opening at a slow speed then closes a micro switch and
then opens at a faster speed. I think I moded mine so it just opened at
the slow speed.
