Sunroof problem

Hi,

I have a 1999 Jetta Wolksburg edition. My sunroof is electronical, goes two ways: opens up all the way, or the back side of the sunroof tips out. The "tip-out" part is working, but I can't open it the other way. It starts, but it doesn't slide into the roof. As I press the button, I hear clicking, but nothing else. Anybody has any suggestions? Is there something stuck or the motor broke?

Thanks!

Two things come to mind. One is the motor may be weak but the better is a possibility that something is in the track and stopping the movement much like a garage door opener tries to keep from hurting you as it comes down.
