Default Manual sunroof retract?

I just learned the fun way that my sunroof wont un-tilt. Is there an easy way to bring this thing closed? You can hear the relay clicking when you push the button but nothing happens. Went up fine, getting it downs the problem.

Don't they have hotlines for when it's up longer than 4 hours?

:P


Im not sure of the mechanism, but if the hinge to raise it is anything like a hinge on a fold-up table, just push it the opposite direction. (The type of hinges that function like human knees and create a lock-out to hold things open) But yeah, im just guessing what type of hinge it uses...

The only thing I can think of is trying to push it down.

You remove the dome light and there's something in there that you can turn with screwdriver to manually crank the sunroof. It's in the owners manual but I don't have it handy or else I'd scan it for you to show you
