Default Sunroof won’t close

i have a 2013 A8 and the sunroof mysteriously opened upon starting the car one day. I purchased the car knowing the pana roof was inop but it was left closed. I’m wondering is their a manual way to close it that anyone would know of? Thanks in advance before I have to take it to a stealership

Sunroof motors can often be driven manually with the correct size allen bit. Service manual says you have to remove front interior and reading light trim to get at the motor for the front sunroof motor. See attached.

thanks for the info, it was a very easy task. I had to purchase the key for $12 at Audi cause mine was missing. I ended up pulling the fuse so this doesn’t occur again.
