Pano sunroof acting up

Had the Car a few weeks and opened the sunroof today. Tried to close it and it gets almost closed, the rear pano starts to tilt up and the front pano reopens on its own. It is as the front pano is sensing an obstruction. I be tried the reset, walked away with the fob, tried you tube and am at a loss. It's winter here so I can't use the car until this is sorted.... Help!!!!!!!

Possible loose switch? Thats when it does not want to function.

Reset of system. This might be the problem.

Hardware if track or cables are damaged, usually this is if one side sticks.

Sorted

Thanks for the assistance, problem was user error!!. Apparently if there is insufficient charge in the car battery, the roof acts as if there is an obstruction. Charged the battery and all is well. At least the thing is now clean and lubricated!
