Sunroof wont shut >_<

Was out driving yesterday and opened the sunroof. Once I got to my destination it would not shut. It got about half way, messed around with it and got it to almost close. At this point now one side is completed shut and sealed but on the other side theres about a 1cm gap since it hasnt gone all the way down. Any ideas? It wont open either now. Well, it does open but its not sliding back. Frustrating! Tried the hex screw thing to see if I could move it but no luck.

It might of fallen out of the thing that keeps in moving straight ? Dunno what its called, but the thing it is on which guides in to open/close positions ? ....Also, you could take the thing that covers the sunroof from the inside, and see if you can see the problem.

Nah, the adjustment is still out. I had that happen in my blue FTO. Easiest thing to do is to loosen (but not remove) the 3 allen key screws on each side that hold in the glass bit. Then you need to do some adjusting until you get close/open happening. Then its just a matter of trial and error (tightening the allen key screws up in differnt positions until it closes properly up. I seem to remember I ended up having to position them in a configuration that didnt seem to make sense to get it to work. I cant remember whether my guide on Complete FTO covered this off or not, but is worth having a look at if you havent already.
