y33: Broken SUnroof

Hey guys, I am having trouble with my sunroof and need to remove the headliner. Never done it before, just wondering if there is an FSM on available online, so that I can take out the headliner before I go in and start ripping things apart. Anyone help will be appreciated. +rep

The only trick to the head;liner is that there are 4 clips in the back and 4 just behind the sunroof, each set faces a different direction so you need to slide off one set just far enough and then drop the headliner and pull it back the other way. I ended up pulling the same direction and ripped off all of the back ones. I can probably get picks of what I mean if you need them. Good Luck

I've already removes the headliner, that was ccake, and also I have dropped the sunroof and inspected it myself...the problem is that the driver side sunroof guide that sits inside the guide rail is broken to hell,, and I can't just purchase that piece alone and replace it....so I am told that I have to buy the whole entire sunroof...In addition to that, When I try to close the sunroof, this guide seems to move right through the rail to the front part of the sunroof mechanism and causes chaos to the front part of the sunroof, which hasn't moved because that very same guide,,,guides the entire sunroof but can't as previously mentioned

Ok so I have found a sunroof from a 99-01 q45, however this version has a glass top, while mine, is non glass...Does anyone know if I will run across any issues before I make this purchase. One I need the sunroof, however I do not want to buy it unnecessarily. Any help will be much appreciated
