The roof will open fully just fine but when you try to close it, it stops at the vent level and will not budge past that.
SOURCE: sun roof stuck open
It seems to be that your cables have come off track or have became broken and/or bound. I'm assuming that this is the binding sound u have described.
SOURCE: ....with a power moonroof, the moonroof is now
use the manual override and close the roof glass...
Testimonial: "didnt know about a manual override, great help."
If this occured after trying to close the shade while the moonroof was opening, it is possible that the plastic tab that locks into the vent (and subsequently the rest of the moonroof) has been bent. I was having a similar problem where my vent would only go up on one side and stay closed on the other (and it would sometimes get stuck open). It would also prevent the rest of the moonroof from opening up. If this is the case, from what I can tell, there is no easy fix for this. Upon researching this problem, you are the only other person asking about it and zero fixes. For the time being, the vent can be closed by lifting up on one side to "unlock" the stuck tab and you should be able to put it down. After that, you should look up instructions to remove your moonroof glass to see if you can inspect the affected area to determine the cause. Here is a link that shows you how to remove the moonroof glass, but does not address the exact issue you describe.
