My sunroof shade was not working properly, only the rear would move, but the sunroof was working fine. I ended up just swapping the whole sunroof cassette and shade for one out of a salvaged car. It was a pretty straightforward job. Trickiest part is removing the headliner. I found a guy on Youtube (the lucky needle) that had a really good walkthrough for the headliner removal.

What ever you do...do not try to reset the sun roof by pressing and holding the sunroof button. This triggered the antitrap warning and my sunroof was no longer operable. It was actually stuck in the open position for a couple of days.

Examining the old parts it appears that the slider mechanism came out of the slot that it needs to be in.
