Need to manually force open sunroof on '87 420sel

I’ve discovered that the reason my sunroof wont open is that the sun roof frame(?) has cracked at both the rear left and right sides of the frame. I can see the sun roof cable and the rear of the sun roof frame retract back into the roof when I try to open the roof and I see two fresh cracks where the aluminum frame has busted. So I want to retract the roof and begin to see what its going to take to fix, but I’m unable to manually force the sun roof down and back to begin to take it apart to repair, even after the cable has been retracted. Any suggestions on how to do this? Also, I did a search on Fastlane and can’t locate the replacement parts for this. One old post I read said that this was a dealer only part at $110 for the left and $110 for the right side of the frame. Any words of wisdom or encouragement on this project would be appreciated. I’ve got the repair manual on CD but this repair job looks to have PITA written all over it. Thanks
