Sunroof stuck open! Help! Urgent!

With impeccable winter timing, my scorp has just decided it wants its sunroof open permanently!
Went to use the car, ignition on and then before engine even started, sunroof began to open on its own. Opened itself all the way and now refuses to budge.
I tried to use global closing but no life from sunroof that way either!
I don't really mind if I loose the use of the thing, just obvously need to get it closed somehow.
Anybody else had this or have any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Large black bin bag and gaffa tape
Judging by the amount of rain we've had,I'd check the relay panels,fuse box and anything else electrical,sounds like a short somewhere?

Ahh, that explains why the same thing was happening to the rear windows a couple of days ago then.
Only difference, they were able to be closed again without a problem.
Any more help greatly appreciated on this one.
Thanks

hi there
if you drop the motor, you should be able to pull it shut.
normally, most people have a problem opening it!
