Hello. I didnt opet sunroof fully for 2 months, only on tilt position.
But today when I did, this piece with the spring popped up and I just couldnt put it back in place and closed the roof normally.
I needed to hold the front plastic part that raises in the air, and then I retracted the roof.
Anybody got some ideas or had a similiar problem...?

That front plastic piece is the wind deflector. It’s spring-loaded and should drop down when the roof closes.
Sounds like it has popped out of its guides or a spring has come loose.
Try opening the roof halfway and checking both sides – the small arms should sit in the guides. Sometimes you can push it back into place.
If it won’t stay down, then either the spring has come off or the plastic guides are broken, which is quite common.
Don’t force the roof closed as you can damage the mechanism.

The spring is in place, but that piece wont stay down. I need to push deflector with hand down, and then that lever stays down and then I need to close the roof. Inspecting it, everything looks fine, nothing is broken
 
If the spring is still in place, then the issue is usually the guides in the rails. The deflector is pushed down by small ramps when the roof closes, not just by the spring.
If it won’t stay down, those guides are likely worn or slightly out of position, even if nothing looks obviously broken.
Try cleaning and lubricating the rails with silicone grease and check both sides carefully – one side is often worse.
If that doesn’t help, it’s usually wear in the guide mechanism and the only proper fix is replacing the deflector or related parts.
Also avoid forcing it closed, as it can damage the mechanism.
