Retractible roof will not unlatch
 

The last time I put the roof up, it didn't want to go into the guides properly, so I had to push on the roof some to get it to go in. The driver's side seated fine, but the passenger side went in and latched, but there is an @ ¼" gap on that side. Now, it won't unlatch using the automatic system and it won't unlatch using the manual release. I tried pushing down with all my weight to get that side to seat properly, but it wouldn't budge.

What can I do to get it to release?
