Default S80 sunroof repair gone horribly wrong

Hi All,
Recently the sunroof on my 99 S80 shattered and decided to repair it myself as the dealer costs were a bit insane.

I did my best to clean out the guides and remove all the broken glass I could find - fitting it was actually pretty easy. Unfortunately, when I went to close it (from the ventilation position), I hit the button one more time to check that the guides were clear. Obviously I didn't get all the glass removed because it hit an obstruction and just stopped. The motor is still working, but it only tries to continue retracting - it does nothing when I try to close it.

We are due for a big snow soon - any idea how I can manually close it? I checked the area by the review mirror where the motor is located, but I didn't see anything other than screws to fit the motor.

Thanks...!

Can you get it to open all the way?
It might have jumped time. If that is the case you will have to remove the motor and reset it.
