Next, you'll be removing the front header panel.

Remove the two screws at the elbow of the sunvisor, then unclip the visor from the clip.

Next open the little door on the clip (hinge is toward you), I use a knife blade to slide in and open it. Remove the screw and clip (first photo).

Next is the light assembly, there are two metal clips on the right side, press them toward the light with a thin-blade screwdriver (2nd pic). Swing the right side downward and out. You will now need to un-plug two larger plugs, one rubber hose, and a small 2-pin plug. Be careful with the hose and the two-pin plug so that you don't break the clips holding your temp sensor together. Also, blow through the temp sensor, you'll probably remove a good bit of dust. (no pic).

Grab the rear-view mirror with both hands, and give it a firm but controlled shove toward the windshield. It should pop loose from the bracket.

Next, remove the three screws holding the mirror bracket (3rd pic).

Now remove the six screws holding the bright aluminum strip in the front edge of the sunroof opening (4th pic).

Pull the inner weatherstrip (felt looking one) down in the front doorways, from the middle of the A pillar up, and around the rear of the openings. Be careful where it tucks into the door sill-plate as the plastic plates are rediculously easy to damage, ... pull out, not up at the end of the plate (5th pic, showing the Special Edition plate though, not the regular plastic one).
