Default Stuck sunroof

I went to open my front sunroof yesterday to find out that it would pop up but only one side would move when it tried to slide. The 2 sunroofs are one of my favorite features of the truck and would hate to lose their use. I tried spraying white lithium grease on the track but could not get down in the track sufficient enough to do any good. I'm think of trying some penetrating oil hoping it will work it's way down in the track and break loose whatever is keeping it from moving. Any ideas if this will work or maybe better ideas to try?

Thanks
Tom

You have not been keeping the tracl and lift clean and lubricated.
Most likely you will need to replace this one roof system.

What would I need to replace? I was looking at AB and found a sunroof guide assembly set. Is that what I need or is there something else?

If no parts are broken (cables, etc.), you may be able to remove the glass & clean the tracks. Then see if it works without the added load of the glass. That worked on my daughter's Alero. Put it all back together & say a Hail Mary.
