453 Cabrio Clicking Noise

Hey guys! I've been looking all over the internet to find somehting on this issue with no luck.

I bought a 2017 Fortwo Cabrio. When closing the the top when fully open, when it transitions from the vertical close to the horizontal slide makes a hard clicking noise, like gears skipping. It sounds simultaneously on both sides. I'll share a video. There is no way of avoiving the clipping no matter if you try to release the button before it clicks, as soon as you press it again to close the "sunroof" it clicks until you let go of the button again and then you can press it for it to slide closed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

You might try lubricating the tracks with some spray silicone or WD-40 with silicone and see if that helps.
