Drop the panel that has the sunroof controls and garage door buttons. You will see the sunroof motor and the center portion of the motor has a large slot you can stick a screwdriver into and turn by hand.

Not by design, but I suppose you could remove the motor and fit some sort of "crank" to the manual "emergency" gear *shrug* You'd have to fab up something yourself.
