The motor that runs the sunshade is at the rear of the cassette, you may be able to hand crank the sunshade back closed by lowering the rear of the headliner a little. There are three different repair kits available to the dealer to source parts for repairing the panoramic sunroof, and probably 70% of pano sunroof failures can be repaired without cassette replacement now. About the same labor charge, but a fraction of the cost parts wise.
