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.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you Dmitry. The Pelican article was helpful in explaining how to slide the lining panel back to get at the sunroof bottom, but there is no discussion on removing the panel from the car, which is what I need to do. My liner panel has bent and broken mounting tabs and will not stay in place when the sunroof moves in and out. Has anyone done this? Is there any information in the Bentley manual on this? I have a Bentley, but its not nearby, so I need help with this. Thanks in advance.
