Unhappy Moonroof not closing - help!

I have a '92 SC300 and started having problems with my moonroof recently. I am able to open it in the inclined position, but not able to close it. I am unable to get it to retract as well. When I take off the switch panel to manually close it, I am able to once again open it on an inclined vent position, but not retract. It does not close back at all. I end up having to manually turn the screw to close it. After a few tries, I managed to strip the screw that goes into the crank screw. Now the moonroof won't open at all, neither incline to vent nor retract at all. I can hear the switch click but no movement at all.
Anyone else familiar with this problem? Will I need to replace the moonroof motor? Of so, where is the best place to get it and how much am I in for??
TIA!
Thom
