I have a sunroof that needs a little sympathy and a whole lotta fixin!

A friend borrowed the car, so not sure what noises where emitted when this happened. Looks like wind deflector did not go down and a bunch of force was applied to shut the roof. It is now quite stuck, and as you can see from the pics, seems to be jammed unevenly, with a much larger gap on one side than the other. I seems to be completely off a rail on one side, I presume. I can hear a slight noise from the motor in the trunk when trying to open with the switch, but it will not budge. The rear manual crank seems to just slip so it is no help either.

I have been doing a bunch of reading on the forum, but hoping to get some insight on my particular situation. I cannot open it to be able to access the screws to remove it. So I either need to pry the headliner cover off and probably break it or keep trying to coax it open somehow.

Any ideas??
