doesn't really answer your question, but a mate of mine got a marine place to fabricate a canvas top that clips over the original sun roof.

The tops here in the US can be cranked shut by hand if needed. There is a cover between the switch for the roor, and the front dome light. The cover says "Sunroof." You can pop it off to access an allen crank screw. Then, in the tool kit in the rear door, nested in bhind the lug wrench and other items, is a crank shaped bit allen key.

I would think you guys had the same setup...?

They tend to accumulate a lot of dust/mud/sand and other crap up around the tracks. That's generally what stops them from working, it just binds everything up. I try to make sure I clean the tracks out fairly regularly and keep some silicon spray on the tracks, seems to have worked so far.
