I have read that he headliner cannot be removed (easily) unless the sunroof is partly open. Can it be removed, however, if the back part is detached from the roof and the roof is tilted up?

Both of my angle lifts are broken, and the roof is unhooked from the carrier tray(?) which is attached to the cable. The cable and motor are fine, and move the carrier tray back and forth normally, except for the roof not being attached.

Please advise.
