Default 2002 Factory Sunroof problem

I recently opened my sunroof, but then it would not fully return to the closed position. It would move forward approx 2 inches and stop, or I could open it back up those 2 inches, but it just wouldn't close fully. Dealer said it would be $2000 to fix it! That was broken down as $1150 for parts, and $850 for labor. I told them the motor seemed to be OK, so why so high? They told me it all came "as an assembly." I have never been much of a sunroof user; I do open the sun shade, but seldom actually open the roof up. For the time being, the dealer was able to fully close the sunroof for $69, which I thought was a BARGAIN! I did this, since I was unwilling to paythe high pricefor complete replacement. Anyone had this problem?

2002Extreme: what did you do to free it up, and what did you do to prevent it from occuring again?
