Sun roof shade difficult to retract

[2StepsAhead]

I went and test drove an 05 4runner today which looks like its going to make its way home to me monday, only issue I noticed was the sun roof shade (interior piece that retracts, dont know if Im calling it the right thing) doesnt seem to want to fully slide back. It gets about halfway and then feels tight, the dealer hit the sun roof button and it pulled the shade back with it completely but still by hand it feels like maybe something is stuck in the tracks.

Wondering if anyone else dealt with this or could point me in the right direction on what to take apart and inspect.

mine will slide all the way back by hand quite easily. Could almost "throw" it back if i wanted.

Yeah theres definitely something up with this one, I just wanted to see if anyone else had ever heard of this. I want to drop the headliner and sound proof it eventually but I also want to know if theres anything inside there to fix, like does something break, get stuck in the tracks, etc.

Update: I found the issue, theres a plastic 'tab' at the front of the shade...somehow theres a crack in mine and the plastic tab and about 3 inches of the fabric piece jumped above the track and was getting stuck. Put a small screwdriver in there and popped everything back down on the same track.
