I'm dropping the sunroof lids and headliner to track down a few rattles that are driving me nuts. After disconnecting the headliner from all its connections the factory manual says to pull the middle of the sunroof frame back and downwards and this provides enough room at the forward corners to pop them free then slide the whole frame forward and down. This is after the headliner is disconnected everywhere and the frame is the last thing to remove. The frame I am talking about has the headliner bonded to it.
I haven't tried it yet but it looks fairly sturdy, I'm concerned it will snap. The headliner with frame is a very pricy assembly.
Anyone had any experience removing the headliner frame? Pic from manual attached. Thanks
