Thanks Bill - very useful info.

When I had problems with my sunroof, I also couldn't get the manual crank to
turn, so I unbolted the motor from the winding gear.  Of course, this took
the tension off the motor, so the manual crank then worked.

Actually, with the motor physically disconnected from the rest of the
mechanism, it was easy to close the sunroof manually.  Then (without
reconnecting the motor), I used the switch to get the motor into the home
position.  Then I bolted the motor back on and everything was fine.
