Audrey,

I would be hesitant to try and open the roof manually just to attempt to 
clean out the "drains" if it sounds like the "bits are stripped"... If you a 
sure that it is just the motor, by all means, go ahead... but I would be wary 
about doing it if one of the cables are broken.... You might as well fix it 
if you are going to go through the trouble...

( My mechanic keeps telling me he has the perfect fix for my sunroof: an 
acetylene torch and brazing rod.... He said it will never leak again...)
