I'm just guessing but I remember reading a few times about something that gets bent in there and you have to bend it back.

I have had many times where my sunroof wont open without a push but never had it stop half way except for the normal point.

Check the tracks for obstructions. Clean the tracks with a degreaser like simple green. Verify the tracks are straight at the point where the sliders stop moving. Grease the tracks with silicone lube. You should be fine after that.

LOL... with your eyes. Look at it, you can see where it slides. Open and close the sunroof while looking at it from the outside, it's obvious how it works.

no, you should clean the tracks first. There's no point in making oily dirt.
