	I have this roof from a 1973 MGB with a Webasto folding sunroof I have no idea when it was last opened but i can't see any reason why it wouldn't I believe the handle is supposed to go more or less 180 degrees from the staring position but it gets stuck before half way Video It seems to disengage some sort or mechanism but doesn't want to go further. I'm concerned that the force it may need will damage the plastic handle Here's what it looks like overall

	The handle is supposed to turn almost 180 degrees, that's correct. I've never had one in pieces, I recall there's a series in Practical Classics about how to strip and re-trim one (or it might just be a single article) and I'm intending to do mine soon, but that's no help at the moment unfortunately.

	Taking advice from a user on an MG forum i applied steady, even pressure and voila! With a little WD40 in the latch it now does this!
