I have a 1987 760 turbo and my sunroof problem is a such

I can retract the roof back all the way no problem, and i can bring it back forwards all the way, up until the very end. There is a little spring loaded metal flap at the fron of the sunroof that the motor doesnt seem to be able to overcome. If i help the motor from the inside when i'm closing it I can get the roof to close fine.

Secondly, when i move the rof up into the vent position, I can only bring it down as far as the seal. the seal doesnt seem to be able clear the rear edge at all. I just dont open it that way because it's difficult to close.

Any ideas on why the problems are? Is the motor just getting tired? For the vent position I suspect that the fact that my seal is really old is the problem, but i'm not sure, as for the front edge, i'm completely stuck.

Thanks!
