Get in the car and open the sunroof about 2 inches. Reach up and pull downward on the interior carpet-like headliner, at the front. There are 3 clips - one in each corner and one in the middle. Once the headliner has been pulled down from all 3 clips, pull the headliner down and forward (towards the nose of the car). It will slide right out.



Now, close the sunroof and undo the 6 10mm nuts, 3 on each side. Once done, push straight up on the sunroof. It'll pop up, and with the heat the padding may be acting as an adhesive (at least mine did, but I've got to deal with Texas summers...) so give it a good shove.

Pay attention to what bolts you need to take out. ( i thought it was only 4) Some of them are only to line up the roof and dont need to be touched.

NP... I've had more than my fair share of asking something, then finding out I was missing something simple!
