@jnechiyep, the Sunroof Doctor's got you covered. You can get those parts for about $180 shipped. I ended up having to replace a bent cable too, so cost me a couple hundred more. The labor was intensive but worth it!

@Haz thanks for the schematics. I pulled off the glass motor and discovered, as I suspected, an issue with the cable. Looks like at some point it popped out of the channel and got a pretty nasty kink/twist in it. I'll have to order a replacement, cut off the old cable at the kink to get it out, feed the new one through, and take the track off again to connect it to the guide.

Thanks - I'm familiar with the initialization sequence and have tried it several times. The problem is that the glass won't fully close because the cable won't extend that far, which is the first step in the process. I can get the shade to close under the open glass, which shouldn't happen, and tried to initialize it there, but it didn't have any effect other than maybe moving the glass a hair closer to closed. You can see in this video what's happening. The driver's-side cable guide that's getting hung up has about twice as much side-to-side play as the guide in the passenger-side track. Nothing is in the track to impede it, which is something the Sunroof Doctor suggested to check for, like a rivet or something. I'd really like to avoid paying $2800 to get this fixed. Hoping someone has experience with the cables and motors. I haven't found a video of those yet.

Update: I reached out to the Sunroof Doctor for advice. He replied: to which I replied: I'm going to try removing the glass again to see if the cables have full range of motion on either side. Will post video here.

I was able to fix my track clips with the Sunroof Doctor replacement parts listed above as well as Steve's video. I lubed all tracks with white lithium grease but still can't get the cables to move the glass all the way forward. I may need to try with one assistant on each side. Any tips appreciated!
