ok, the glue stuff in the tracks is grease mixed with dirt and gunk, no major worries there. just get some PTFE grease and paste it in after a good clean out of the old

the motor sounds like its lost its "position" on the winder. when you fully close the roof, keep the button pressed down until the motor stops by itself. then hold in on for about 10 seconds more.

then full retract if possible. and hold again for 10. this should re - initialise the roof start and stop memory.

if there is still a problem with the full retract then you may need to retract maually with the tool in the wheel well. Peel of the cover by the sunroof switch , and wind the roof back . then using the butto wind in the slack on the motor. Repeat above.

If this dont work then you mayeed to remove the motor, and pull the roof back to fully open by hand (carefull not to buckle the metal wires that give the roof shape) then mount the motor and retract psition fot 10 seconds. then close and hold for 10

if this dont work, blow up the car

as for the leaking. its beause the roof seal isnt keeping the water out anymore. You will need to remove the entire roof and silicone seal it .

it sounds hard but i did it (twice as i needed to redo something ) in a few hours

the full instructions are here ( download section missing? )
