So I drilled out the rivets that hold the pipework to the frame and manipulated it all the way through. I got it to budge a cm then just kept moving it back and forth. An hour or so doing this dislodged years of black s***e and eventually it all came out and moved freely over the whole length. I lined it up with the other side, rebuilt and re greased the runners and boom a working sunroof! Now I've got to try fit it on my own... then the headlining to repair . Oh and Mark, I replaced your bespoke accelerator pedal
