Default Broken Sunroof!!! please help!!!

I have already STFA and nothing has helped me yet. So, I heard a loud crunching (cracking) noise when opening my sunroof. Now the inside liner is stuck completely inside the roof where the glass would be when the sunroof is open. I can feel this piece with my fingers but it is fully in there and won't come out (Its wedged in there). Now the sunroof glass is stuck open about half way when I turn the ****. Turning the sunroof control to the max and min only makes the glass move about 1 or 2 inches where it then reverses into its middle stuck position. I am on vacation far from a mechanic. If it rains, I'm screwed.

Does anybody have any ideas of how I could fix this?
Has this happened to anybody before?
What did it cost to fix? Was it covered under their extended warranty? (I know they are all different)

If anybody has a mechanic located near New York City, that won't bend me over like the dealer, I would be willing to give them some business. I also have an emisison hose that need replacing.

Default Isn't there a way to manually crank it shut by removing a panel?....

I know it's stuck but doing it manually could put a little extra pressue than a little electric motor.
