ok the roof is closed, what about the handle? will it pull down and unlock. i assume you know you have to rotate it down and then turn it to unlock.

if you are sure you know how it is supposed to work, i would just try to get a little penetrating oil up there and then just pull firmly til it gives. i cant imagine any reason it would hold stronger than the handle. i guess if it breaks off you are no worse off than you are now.
