[s-cars] Sunroof Stuck Open

[Steve Powers]

is the sub panel still attached? it uses two hinge arms and attaches
at the rear of the sunroof. their job is to slide the panel (aka rain
tray) with the sunroof and they often break, leaving a nice
non-connected pivoting lever which can jam the sunroof in position.

at least that's what happened to our car...

Trying to open it further results in the same action, only it moves slightly rearward.  Tried tugging slightly on the panel while trying to close it but no dice.  So drove home and swapped cars as we're expecting some heavy thunderstorms this afternoon.
