If the little plastic clips holding it are gone then it won't open or close, happened to mine on the smurf.

Could also be motor/power to it not working. Rails could be jammed. If there's any resistance then it simply will stop where it is and close back up.

Check wiring and also fuse.

I know my would only open half way when my visor was jammed half way.
But I take it your visor isn't jammed, and only the sun roof?
