Not as far as I know. The only way I've found is to remove the motor drive unit and pull the roof back, but that's not really practical.

Merry new year Al!

Hey - my experience with toyota sunroof problems...
Remove the trim/switch/control panel for the sunroof - there should be a place where you can put a screw driver or socket - turn it and you can close or open the sunroof manually.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
