2006 IS350 sunroof stuck in up position... pulled motor and cabling looks ok. Front right side wont budge front or back, do I have to remove glass to check tracks? Hear clicking when motor is engaged but nothing grabbing, like something stuck in tracks and stripped belt.
You can remove the bellows to check the rail, and hinges.
I think if I remember correctly just pull out 3 small clips from the bottom. Pull the bellow gently towards you, and it should unclip. It doesn't take much force.

ripped out motor and cables and manually had to slide the guides back and finally got it seated flush, never to be opened again 😂, thanks
When you hear a click that means your motor is probably not engaging. Take it apart and clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol and I bet that fixes it.
Your tracks look fine (the teeth where you took the motor out look intact). Happened to me once on my 2GS and is very common. There is a video on YouTube about it. Sometimes the tilt won't work - or in my case the sunroof was stuck half open.
