Had the same thing happen to me .. you have to remove the motor. take all visors off and get to the motor carefully and unplug , the hydralics in the sunroof will release sunroof and close. This is a dealer part . Replace the same way. Good Luck !

There should be an emergency close feature that will allow you to manually close the sunroof on a 2007 Camry. You can also remove the sunroof motor to manually close it.
It is just above the front dome lamps.
Remove the sunroof headliner. Pull the flex cable forward until out of the motor. Remove the left(driver’s side) plastic fender panel in the trunk. Disconnect the wires. Take out the mounting screws. Gently separate the flex cable’s tube from the motor/gear assembly.
the sunroof motor is simple to replace, but may be time consuming. you first have to remove the headliner. take all the trim holding the headliner off to bring the liner down. once you are inside the headliner, remove the two screws holding the sunroof control assembly. Disconnect the wireing harness from the motor. 3 screws hold the motor in place. Before removing the motor, make sure the sunroof is closed and sealed shut. the motor is timed to the position of the sunroof. Do not turn the motor gear under any circumstance. once the motor is out, inspect the drive cables for any visible wear. Installation of a new motor is just the opposite of removal. the new motor should come pre-timed to the "Closed" position.

Yes, you can by pull down the headliner in the front, then pop off the plastic piece on the sunroof motor and use a torx bit to manually close it, but it goes really slow.
