It is stuck and i do not want to apply to much force to try and open or close it. I somehow need to slide the top forward enough to release the latch fully. Anyone ever have this happen?

I had this happen too. Easy fix, you just have to take two screws out of the base plate that the latch seats into. The screws are actually torx fasteners, you can access them by popping out the two black plastic "eyes" on either side of the cabin light at the top of the windshield. Once they're out, you can move the plate toward the back window and this should release the stuck latch. Then you can put the torx fasteners back in and latch the roof properly.
