Pathfinder Sunroof

[Donter]

I have a 1999.5 pathfinder and the sunroof opens about 3 inches then stops. It works properly to open to the vent position, and the motor is not the problem, it is laboring when the window stops. It seems like it is hitting something at about 3 inches open. I have read about the switches being the problem but I don't think that is it. It seems like it is catching on the passenger side, but I can't see a thing. Any ideas, and how hard to fix?Thanks

The cable is probably broken... its not uncommon on ANY vehicle with a sunroof...

fortunately there exists a cable repair kit from Nissan... Its not going to be a fun job, but its better than on the Q45 where there is no repair kit and we have to replace the entire assembly (expensive)
