mine used to get stuck, i just forced it, and it opened.
I used to spray copper grease on the runners to make it slide better.
but the choice is yours.

Best bet is get a helper, to bang around the edges of the sunroof as you try to raise/lower it, that's what I do always works, the sliders can be coated in silicone gel.

pushing it up at the rear first tends to help
but if it's jammed and one of the plastic guides has snapped then it's a new mechanism as it's then classified as fucked
once it goes up and down a few times it should start to move back and forward too, just make sure there is someone turning the handle at the same time to prevent possibly cable ebndinglsnapping of the plastic lugs that hold it in place, leading to it being fuckde
