This happened on my (few years old) A6 which had the same unit. As the lubrication migrates it can start to get a bit sticky. Audi recommended a ‘sunroof service’ which costs around £200 and they re-grease everything with the special Krytox grease.

I use my roof pretty much every trip so I’m hoping the constant use keeps it moving freely!

I have deliberately chosen not to add the sun-roof. We live pretty rurally and the dust inevitably gets into the mechanism. After a long winter, trying to get the thing moving must be quite a job for the motors. Too few nice days to make real use of it too.

We live in a rural hamlet. Had panoramic roofs in my last 3 cars and (so far) had absolutely no problems. Cars never garaged either. Use regularly spring to autumn either in tilt or fully open. Latter on today's tour around the Mendips AONB. 8-)

Had pan roof shut all day today as too hot !! Air con on full blast. Would be quite happy having a fixed glass roof like Land Rover do.

Had to give it a helping hand by pushing deflector with my hand as roof approached. Not sure what was causing it - maybe the hot weather ?
Try this:
Always store the end positions of the Panoramic roof system and sunblind fully and consecutively in the specified sequence.
If the process for storing the end position is interrupted, the process cannot be started for the other drive mechanism.
Vehicle stationary.
Switch on ignition.
Press the switch forward in the closing direction and keep it pressed.
Saving of the final position starts after approx. 10 seconds.
Press and hold the switch until the Panoramic roof system has stopped moving completely.
The closing and storing process takes a maximum of 45 seconds.
If the switch is released before the Panoramic roof system has stopped moving completely:

Start the save procedure over again.
Repeat step 2 for the sunblind using the relevant switch (Fig. 153 on page 199).

It may have 'forgotten' the stored position during an electronic hiccup (technical term).

Pan roof worked fine this morning. Not sure why the deflector was a bit reluctant to fold the other day. Can only put it down to the heat.
