Sunroof stuck update

Dear all,

I have had problems with the sunroof of my 635 (feb 1985 model)had a go with the sunroof again today, and all the motor/ running gear seems to be ok (you can see it moving through the track), the roof is not sliding on its own, and it sticks in 2 places, after which it will not move with out a push. Then on closing it sticks in the same places.

These 2 places are immediately the roof dips, but then sticks before it slids, and at about 5 inches from it being completely open.

Also the tilt function does not work, and ive given it a but of persuasion, but its not interested.

 

Any help as always is greatly appreciated,

Ben

Ben has already been on the bigcoupe site - but good idea!
I have PM'd him a link to do with sunroofs.

THIS may also help Ben, but I can't recall whether or not I've already emailed him this. Its 5 series, but I think very very similar.

He also has a 6 series maintenance CD arriving with his 'new' sunroof which he should find invaluable!!

On a seperate note, I will be out in Dubai this Christmas, visiting my father who has lived out there for about 23 yrs!! Do you have a 6'er then? Thought there might be a few E24's in Dubai as they were always a sought after model, climate is kind to them in comparison to salty roads of England!
