Default Stuck, Jammed Sunroof

I have a ‘83 928 with a stuck sunroof. Some background on the car. It was left sitting in a wooded lot under trees for apx seven years. The sunroof motor will not budge it and a manual attempt does not either. Does anyone have any tips on moving this sunroof? Thank you.

Remove motor and transmission, the guide cables are likely frozen in the tubes.
