So the front panel closed completely?
If it's not a lot of gap, you could try gently but firmly push the panel forward and down.
If it's a lot of gap, the best way is to remove the roof motor and push the panel down, then reinstall it again. I used to do that a lot trying to fix the oss. With the motor out, you can actually push the roof down from outside, but to completely close it, from the inside you need to 2 torx head or screw drivers to push the pin to lock in place.
More detail here:
Open sky OSS motor removal?
Anyone got a how to for OSS motor removal? My cog cracked and jumped and now the roof wont close fully! Will still open and close a bit! Help!!!!

Hi @Kleynie
Hi just see Your not to far from where I live.
The front closes OK but the rear is jammed up on the drivers side. I also found a bit of plastic which had fallen in the rail, which I've removed from the rail.
I just want to get it closed before my interior ends up wrecked, I'll promise I'll never open it again.
The bit the came off is a little guide for the rubber on rear roof.

That's a surprise. If you just open the front panel, you should be able to get the rear down, by pulling the runner forward.

You do not need to remove them at all. Not sure why you had to?

If the rear doesn't close fully no matter what, the part that locks the panel into place, sits just above mash. The front can slide, but the rear one is fixed. So when I had to close my oss, I had to remove the rear mash to do that, and might as well I just removed the front one too. I don't miss the mash and the interior looks bright too.

I still got them of course, but I prefer this way as the sun barely comes out in UK that much to have good use of them, but the more light in the cabin is obvious, and rear passengers like it too, as the whole glass roof is see through.
