Thanks guys. The diy thread here for w124 headliner removal was pretty helpful. However, after I couldn't get the sunroof liner off, I just started removing stuff from the front to the back, visors, mirror, oh-**** handles, sunroof parts, b pillar trim, c pillar trim. The hardest part was removing the stupid rear overhead light. the headliner was falling in the way and I couldn't see to figure it out and it was all dirty and sticky. Got it out through the sunroof undamaged. Taking it to a shop to be recovered. PITA job, but not the worst I have done on my 124 or the 123.
