I am replacing my headliner and have found instructions on how to replace the main part, but I am still unsure as to how to remove the sunroof panel for recovering.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello there, I am replacing my headliner and have found instructions on how to replace the main part, but I am still unsure as to how to remove the sunroof panel for recovering. Can anyone out there help please? Thank you

POST 2Original post

Its a little tricky. Open the sunroof a couple inches, then push the interior panel another inch or so towards the back of the car to disengage it from the mechanism. Close the sunroof and move to the tilt position. Push the interior panel back as far as it will go easily. close the sunroof again. Remove the four torx screws (two per side) to remove the exterior panel. Then you will need to slide interior panel forward so it is a couple inches from being closed. In the front corners, there is a little plastic clip that connects the interior panel to the side flaps. Unclip these and you should be able to disengage the panel from the mechanism completely. Once this is loose, you can twist it and remove the interior panel out through the sunroof.

pm me with your email address and I can send you a nice PDF of the instructions.

POST 6Original post

The orange headliner glue is the biggest PITA, sticks to everything.

POST 10Original post

I have the panel out for dent removal, but now when I move activate the "close" sunrooof button the sunroof mechanism will start to close -ie move forward but stops about half way and reverses. doing this in steps makes no difference. problem is the rear holes to attach panel are inside the headliner. The manual hex key does not work at all- took that apart earlier and it appears turning with the hex key looks like trying to drive a worm gear backwards- anyway mine will not turn. Any ideas? Thanks
