weird sunroof behavior after battery charge

[David Nelson]

Our '96 A6Q sat in the garage for a month without being 
driven (waiting to get busted CV boot replaced). My wife 
went to drive it the other morning: battery dead. Called 
brother who came out and hooked up a slow charger. That 
evening, after removing the charger, the car started right 
up, but the sunroof opened, spontaneously, with "an unusual
sound"--what do you mean by that? "Like a laboring 
sound"--and then wouldn't close, and still won't.

Suggestions short of the dealer?
