i like it!!! i would be interested to see how this turns out.
can you explain how you got the sunroof panel out me and macc on here have been trying to do a sunroof for a while and we have been struggling with it.
macc recovered his sunroof panel but it was too thick and couldnt get it to work properly with the sunroof plus it rattled.

I managed to get the panel out quite easily following the instructions in Haynes. I've never tried putting one back together again, though.

The only reason it might be difficult to remove the panel is if your roof doesn't tilt.

Hi mate, is it possible to remove the trim panels without removing the sun roof and how are they secured?
