Sometimes the only way to figure things out is to go and poke around. It was fairly easy to pull the headliner off even with the roof 97% closed, then I could see much better what was going on. One side of the sunroof was jammed pretty badly, and I was able to remove enough of the bolts that hold the sunroof to finally get things to unjam abd break free. Luckily, no major damage was done. Once I put things back together, I can open and close door with no problems.

The switch on the dash is quite sticky, and the wind flap is still broken. So you have to use your fingers to hold the flap down when closing the roof. The peices that force the flap down are in bad shape, so will tackle this another day, since for now, I can close it!
