Sunroof fault - but not the usual

Since new, the sunroof on our SEL has had an intermittent fault which is getting more constant.

When you press to open it, the motor always starts up and the opening section starts to open, but on more than half of all attempts it stops almost immediately with a hard knock that sounds like it is physically obstructed or jammed, the other times it will move past the sticking point and open normally.

Asked dealer to look into it during 1st service. You can probably guess the rest: they said they had investigated thoroughly, lubricated it all and hopefully I shouldn't have any more problems. I try it as soon as I get it back: it jams 5 times out of 6.

Anyone else had this ?

EDIT: have just tried it again and it consistently worked fine. It's warm and sunny here today, wonder if expansion of something is making the difference ?
