As for the sunroof, you need VW special tool #XXX YYY ZZZ, also known as a
coat hanger with a hook bent in the end of it. You insert it into the
tipped up sunroof opening, and hook the little spring that holds the inner
sunroof headliner in place, then you can slide that piece back and see the
mechanism. The Bentley has a decent procedure for repair, but there's an
Audi one that is better. It may be that the side little flippy up rails are
broken, they seem failure prone.
