I believe in the owners manual there is a method with a 4mm Allen wrench after the motor is exposed. Is the motor not working? I know those sunroofs, and if it is stuck open because of a broken part or a parted cable, then the cassette must be removed for inspection and that means the headliner needs to come out.
