940 Wagon, 1995, Sun roof

I'm looking for some guidence on getting a jammed sun roof open once the motor goes out or is unable to make the window retract. Specifically, where do you access the mechanism from inside the car and what is involved?

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

I have found this for the '93 & '94 940s but there is no mention of it for the '95. Hopefully it will be the same.

Emergency sun roof operation

If, because of an electrical fault (e.g. a blown fuse), it is not possible to operate the sun roof electrically, then it is manually.
First, using a small screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the sun roof motor cover to the headliner. Then using a screwdriver, depress the white plastic clutch pin in the center of the motor screw (see illustration) and turn the screw to close or open the roof as desired.

That was just what I needed. My 95 does not have any screws holding the panel in place. It is just up there by a couple of clips. Other than the pin in screw driver slot is being white rather than black, the operation is as Bill's attachment indicates.
