Rear Sunroof Panel right side stuck

Rear sunroof panel right side stuck down and will not pop up causing the front panel not to open all the way. Lucky for me the sunroof will close. Looked at the mechanism from the inside, there are no broken parts noticed , however there is hardly any of them exposed either. I appears that a link on that side failed. Or one is trying pass the other and it gets snagged , because there is a "pop" as it runs . Tried to get it unstuck sitting in the back while someone operated it, by pushing on it but could not. Too risky to force it. I think it would be very ,very expensive to fix. I will probably keep it closed so not to have it fail open.Too bad I was really enjoying the open sunroof this early summer. Moral of the story; don't use your sunroof too much it will wear out. Very slight chance that someone has an idea?
