Sunroof jamed - I can't open it any method

I have a problem with the sunroof panel. The car was road collision and the front panel moved slightly to the rear of the driver side. It caused jam a roof. The emergency opening screw has no effect. The front part cannot raise. In the photos, I noticed differences at the beginning of the guide rails (windshield side). It seems to me that something must have jumped in the mechanism. Unfortunately, I do not know how to get to these rails, how to remove the glass panel, should it be cut? Maybe somewhere there are screws with which I can disassembly the panel. I will be grateful for all the advice.

I have a solid roof so can't help, but have you looked at the service manual, it shows every fastening.

after having a SunRoof that leaked and leaked on a LR Disco 200, I vowed never to have another one in a vehicle I own !!

I have read more column inches on problems with sunroofs that enough. When will manufactures either get them right or stop fitting them in favor of air-con.

When I chose my car I had a list of 'must haves' and a single line of definitely nots .

I know this is not going to help with your roof windows, hopefully you that sorted out, but you could kill two birds with one stone since you have pulled off all the trim panels.

I removed all screws from rails and try push up/down but I can’t remove it.
Pulling it down is blocking the glass. I'm afraid to do something by force so as not to break the mechanism. The black sheets protecting the guides block upwards. In my opinion, they should be removable because if I push the panel upwards, these sheets block the whole thing. Should I forcibly pull them down and separate them from the rest of the system?










Regards

I still can't remove the roof. How can I disassemble it? Do I have to cut the glass to remove it? Which direction do I take the roof out, upwards or towards the center of the car? Do I have to unscrew anything apart from the screws I showed earlier? Is there anyone who has ever replaced the entire roof of a car?

Regards
