Removal of dual panel sunroof?

I'm about to put a new headliner in my wagon. Can anyone give me some advice on taking the sunroof panels out?
Thanks in advance!

Check the FAQ or DIY, attackeagle has a thread that covers the headliner part.

remove grommet around opening

open sunroof fully back.

unlatch the cover and move it forward until the slider matches up wiht the lift out point.

lift it out the top

move slider until next one matches, and lift out the top

move forward and lift out rear tabs. (reinstall is a bear!)

open rear panel only, detach spring latch (at front?).

push panel to the front and it wil fall off.


lots of pics in a thread about removing my roof rails.
