We had that problem and at first it is a case of persisting ... there is no other way ... unless you can open the roof but then you have to stop midway ... which risks other issues

When you do open it you will probably find the plastic arm on the operating solenoid has bent and the metal rod has come out or pushed through. It will probably need a new solenoid as it will not bend back and the metal arm needs bending slighty ..
