damaged sun roof

I went off roading today and durring that time I put like 50lbs of pressure on the back left part of the sun roof when it is open. Now when it closes the back part on the left side does not rise up to complete the seal. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ok, update on the sunroof. I stuck a flathead into the raising mechanism and pushed it up till it locked in place. It is sealed now, but it wont go down, it is locked in the UP position. Any Ideas?

just a heads up... you probably just broke the cables that actuate the sunroof... i did on both sides of mine...

as far as my dealership is concerned, they cant order the individual parts (like the cables) but call up some junk yards or get ahold of DC and see if he has them...

and yes, you will need to pull both the back panels, all the dome lights and the head liner... thats the reason that i havent done mine yet...
