Sunroof Shade split and off rails

Hey all,
As the title says, the two halves of the shade has split apart, and both parts are off their rails.
Does anybody know how I can get them back together again?
I can't open the sunroof with the shade like this :(

Does the glass itself open up?

It would, and I can open wedge it, but it can't pull back, due to the shade not retracting

I know how to put them back, but you need to take the glass out, and to do that you need to be able to access it from the inside. :?

I can access it from the inside, they are completely off the rails, I could probably remove them easily enough...

Take the glass out from inside the car (3 star head screws on each side), then take the boards out from the top.

So I got it all fixed WITHOUT removing the glass :)
I wedged it up, and then using a long screw driver I was able to push the clips in, and put it back on it's rails.
Tested, and all working fine again, can't wait to be finally able to use it again :D

You'd be able to use it at least 4 hours a year in Dunedin :lol:

Today would have been nice! I could only use it half open :(
