OK, I see what you're trying to do now. Posted by RS [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: OK, I see what you're trying to do now., RS ![]() ![]() |
You're doing the headliner.
First, you don't have to drop the sunroof pan.
Move the sunroof back about 8 inches. You'll see 4 torx screws on the front of the sunroof. Remove them. Close the sunroof until it's about 3/4" open. Lift up on the outer sunroof panel and pull it forward. It will have some resistance, but it should come right out.
You'll see the top of the inner sunroof panel. It has 4 pieces that go to the tracks on the side. Carefully mark the positions of these pieces to maintain the alignment of the sunroof. I used masking tape.
Undo the ones in front and pull them to the side. These have alignment guides. You'll understand how they work when you see them. Then, undo the bolts on the rear pieces that go to the tracks. THese are attached to the drive cables if you have an electric sunroof. Flip them up and drive the sunroof forward.
Now is the tricky part: There are 2 guides on the rear of the inner sunroof panel that you need a 10-mm box wrench to loosen. These look just like the ones on the front of the inner panel - they're just hard to get to. Be careful not to scratch or chip the paint around the sunroof opening when you're wrenching on these. Try loosening one and sliding it to the side and see if you have enough slack to slide the inner sunroof panel to the side to disengage it from the track. If you don't, you'll need to loosen the one on the other side. Then you can pull the inner panel.
It's not that bad, but it helps to have it inside in a well-lit area.
