Default Electrical gremlins?

First post in the new format. Will take a little while to get it figured out.
98 A8Q 87K miles
First problem: Sunroof will intermittently tip open to approximately half position and then sometimes close with no selection. I usually can exercise the switch to the retract position and then to close and that will take care of it. I assume the switch has a problem. How much of a pain is it to replace the switch? Anyone else have similar issue?

2nd problem: Tilt steering wheel sticks in full upright position sometimes. It seems to be worse if outside temp is above 70 degreee F. If it is cool temp or if wheel is not allowed to go to full upright it seems to work OK. Is this a switch issue or something else like a travel adjustment? How often does the mechanism need to be taken apart/lubed? The telescope seems to be a bit jerky sometimes like it needs some lube. How much of a pain is it to get at switch and drive assembly?
