[V8] Strange sunroof behavior

[Kneale Brownson]

Take off the sunroof motor cover (screws should be behind the light panel,
which pops out).  There should be a largish hex key crank you can use to
turn the system enough by hand to close the hatch.  Sounds like the cables
slipped or a microswitch that shuts off the motor is misaligned.  There are
numerous pages of sunroof adjustment included in section 60 of the repair
manual for the V8 and/or the 200s, which I believe all used the same
sunroof assembly.
