Sun Roof Won't Close - Help

The other day I opened up the sunroof and then went to close it. It sounded like a little snap, like something popped out of place, and the sunroof won't close the last 2 inches. It really difficult to see up in the tracks. Is there some kind of clip or something that pops loose or undone that I can pop back into place so the roof works properly again?

Thanks,

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet cause my wife was pretty pissed off when it wouldn't shut. I'll have to try it when she gets back home later.

There is a way to reset the roof's travel. But it's been a long time since I saw it done at the Atlanta Assy plant. This may be the problem you have. I was trying to remember the company that made the roofs. In KY I think. Good Luck.
Try to make the roof go all the way back and hold it for 15 seconds, this may reset the roof travel.
