Chet,

Thanks for the feedback, If I take the seal off it works fine. The body shop says it the seal. I will take a read of the info.

Thanks

If you’re interested in what’s involved in some slide roof jobs, here’s what I’ve done.
 
Fix Wind deflector:

My attempt to repair the broken mechanism:

Replaced mechanism:

There’s also a drive cable clutch adjustment, which I never got around to documenting.   
Also it may be time for  a good cleaning and relube.  If there is too much resistance (friction or broken parts), the drive cable clutch will slip.  If I recall, the lifting operation requires a little extra torque and more prone to not working if the adjustments are not right.
