09 glass roof shade won't close / open

The wife's '09 has the glass roof option with the retractable pull shade. We had it replaced once under warranty when the wires popped I believe, it would not roll up when opened. Apparently an aftermarket co. made these for Ford because we had to wait for the day that the tech trained on them was in the dealership.

Now 1-2 yrs. later and out of warranty the shade is getting stuck closed and currently is stuck open and I can't pull it forward. I'm guessing somethings off track, cord popped or some type of retractor spring is broke/ stuck.

Before I pull down all the plastic surround molding to get a better look, has anyone fixed theirs before and have any tips? We use it very often and really enjoy the glass roof option and it's rarity, just wish the shade would work properly and consistently.

It was an option only offered in 09. Classic Design Concepts and Saleen used to sell kits to do it to your own car, but have since stopped. You can find them new for sale from time to time though. They usually run about $1500-3000. Requires alot of modification but it's a cool option.

Pics as requested from above and inside. The car is 1/199 Warriors in Pink built in '09. Wife is a BC survivor and this was her gift from me for making it through surgery/radiation/chemo and growing her hair back! I don't know how many of the 199 were ordered with the glass roof, TMK this option was more than a conv. The roof has UV blocker so that was preferable to a conv. It was available on '09's as an option and I believe the '11's but not sure what years.
