there is no manual method. It sounds like a limit switch is not working. Can you hear the motor try to operate? If you push up on the back of the glass a little bit while hitting the switch, what happens.

The sliding roof panel system consists of the following components:
- RH circuit breaker
- Timer module
- Power window relay
- Roof sliding panel switch (15B691)
- Roof glass panel (50054)
- Sliding roof panel motor (15790)
- Halo moulding
- Roof sliding panel headlining (519A02)
- Roof sliding panel slide links (502M78)
- Roof sliding panel housing (502C22)
- Roof air deflector (500A26)
- Center green diode strip
-------------------------------------
When the roof sliding panel switch is activated, a gear on the sliding roof panel motor drives a spline on the roof sliding panel housing. Within the roof sliding panel housing, the spline is connected to two sliding roof panel cables which cause the roof sliding panel slide links to slide and the roof glass panel to open or to close.
The sliding roof panel cables and the spline are part of the roof sliding panel housing. Neither the sliding roof panel motor nor the roof sliding panel housing can be disassembled. If a malfunction is detected with either of these assemblies, the assembly must be replaced.
