Help! Sunroof stuck

So my sunroof started acting funny a few weeks ago.

I have an mkv gti. It would move by itself without me rotating the switch.

so I tried to close it and messed with the switch a few times..

I heard a horrible crunching sound and the sunroof got stuck in the lower corner so its tilted in a bit.

Anytime I try to close the sunroof or move the switch in different positions I hear the same noise.

I read up on some old posts and I guess the switch was faulty to begin with? Now it seems like I've messed up the wires that actuate the sunroof?

VW stealership quoted me like almost 2 grand to fix this shit but fuck that. I was thinking I could try a new switch but I have a feeling that won't work at this point.. I don't have any leaks when it rains but the sound of the wind on the highway is pretty annoying and I miss using my sunroof.

Anyone else had a similar issue and could point me in the right direction?

Never heard of this before. Sounds like maybe the motor is messed or the mechanism that actually moves the sun roof back and forth? IDK....just a guess.

$2,000 sounds like an awful lot. I'd get a second or third opinion before having it fixed.

Sorry dude.....
