The presumption is that the sunroof at one time worked well and now is not. Crud, rust, lack of lube may be factors, but perhaps we should consider some simple mechanicals.

Yes, the sunroof was workin fine until last Sunday. I have owned this car for 2 years now.

I believe by 1984 the tool was not needed as there was a hex nut/bolt built into the motor. Any standard metric wrench or socket should work

Yes, I found it and broke the plastic nut/bolt, using this method allowed me to open the roof a little more. I read the Frankenbenz post "Gently try the mechanicals..." after I broke the part.
The sunroof barley clears the wind deflector. I ran I small screw drive between the sunroof and the wind-deflector to make sure that it wasn't caught somewhere.

Will it keep moving if you "help it" with your hand? I have seen them bid up because of grit and rust or corrosion in the track.

Yes, with help of my lovely assistant I attempted to "help" the sunroof open but It keeps getting stuck leaving a 2-3in opening.
I will follow the instructions FRANKENBENZ posted and let you know how it goes.
Thank you all for your input.
