Give a little push on the sunroof as you turn it to help it pop its self out so it can slide back too.

(Then again, I have yet to see an FC where you don't have to help it pop its self out and slide back even with power haha)

mines is so bad that when i use an impact drill(only way to open) it sprinkles an even amount of rust which im pretty sure is locking the tracks
