1988 90Q sunroof issue

[Huw Powell]

So, I've got this nice "new" car which I'll be switching over to as soon 
as I resolve one teeny issue: the sunroof is stuck open.

Something stops it from sliding forward, leaving about a 2" gap.  It 
also seems to be incapable of opening all the way.  Right now as it 
sits, water doesn't get into the car because 1. there's a wind deflector 
over the gap and 2. the car is is on slightly sloping ground.

 From my exploration of the Bentley, it "appears" that the entire 
sunroof assembly is bolted to the roof.  Does anyone know if this is 
true, because if so I could pull it and bring it inside and try to fix 
it on the bench.

I don't mind pulling the headliner, since that's one of the many things 
I have to swap over anyway.  I might end up swapping over the entire 
setup if necessary.

Any ideas, btdts, photos, etc. would be appreciated!

PS, ironically, when I "test drove" it, the sunroof worked just fine, 
although it didn't to want to "stop" automatically between tilt and 
slide motion.  But I have spare parts if that ends up being an issue.  I 
have *lots* of spare parts.
