Sunroof needs to open halfway, unclip inner liner and slide out towards front of car, put sunroof in popped up position, unscrew roof from lift bridges , removed 4 bolts , removed 2 more at deflector guides at front
and lift sunroof panel off, unscrew 4 philips screws from stainless steel
strips,lift strips out of the way, unscrew 2 bolts from cable end, unscrew 6 screws from bridge lift bridge out of way, take lift bridge and carefully lift forward arm up out of guide
and you will see a notch in , where the water channel clips into , do both sides then remove water channel ( the black plastic part that goes from left to right lift), now you can slide lift mechanism forward and out of guides, dont force it , the bridges need some care to reinstall, use plenty of lube when your finished installing, note if your sunroof wont open or slide back you will have to force inner panel off, then all of the above still applies, note mark everthing with a scribe before taking apart, its easier to reassemble.
