I would try a light coat of white lithium grease on the tracks to start.

if that's not the case you may want to check the fuse to make sure it is the correct size, there could be a lack of power getting to the motor.

I used and all purpose grease and it was too thick and sticky. It made the sunroof worse so make sure to use a silicon grease that is thin.
