the tracks on your sunroof could be dirty and may need to be cleaned or they could be cracked or damaged and will have to be replaced...Clean your tracks first to see if that solves anything.....

Will it close manually? There should be a plug in the roof where you can take a allen wrench i do believe and hand crank it closed. if it wont do that you might have to take it apart and look at the track.

Yea. like posted above, it's probably dirty or clogged tracks. After cleaning them really well with wd-40, rags and a little flat headed screwdriver, skeet some lubricant in there also, like some silicone spray. I've also noticed on mine, if you tighten the bolts down to tight(that actually hold it on), it will cause it to open and close slower.
