Emergency! Sunroof open, anybody in the Crieff/Perth region who can help

Hi there folks, my sunroof is stuck open and I have done what I could technically. Fuse out, panel off and tried manually close and it wouldn't. So I am looking for anyone who is in the area and technically (a lot) more versed than I am for me to go by and them to have a look. I am not really looking for technical advice as I really don't know what I am doing...

Any hints appreciated as we need to travel with the car tomorrow. Yikes.

Thanks to local help we found the culprit. The motor had burnt out and is completely seized. We had to extract it, break it and use the gear to stick back into the movement to close it. Now need a new motor.
