Common problem... Dirt and crud messes up the tracks after 21 some odd years. (Wow... Kids born when your car was in the showroom are now legally able to drink alcohol... And I remember Mazda commercials during my Saturday morning cartoons...)
Lemmie find the writeup on how to dismantle the tracks and clean them out for another couple decades of service.

Both of those have a procedure to repair, however neither includes pictures.

Instructions motor removal and repair:
------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Pull the head liner down so you have enough access to the motor as well as the sun roof panel. If you wish (and I highly recommend it) remove the liner from the sun roof panel as well. This will insure that you have easy access to everything you need and are able to determine which pieces may need shims later on.
Step 2: Remove the sun roof panel by unbolting the 6 nuts (3 on each side) so that the track assemblies can operate independently.
