Hi, I'm a bit the worse for a few bevs :drinking:, but if I remember correctly, you have to at least remove a few of the bolts holding the sunroof assembly to the roof before you can slip the original sunroof trim (grey?) out to the rear of the mechanism and replace it with the new trim - to disengage the trim from the sunroof panel see here (a lil something I did for the bodyshop to help them remove the sunroof panel for a respray!)

 

And yes, it helps if you remove the leather grip from the handbrake before you slip the handbrake cover up and off. It is held on by a plastic clip thingy on the underside at the rear of the grip, not very hard to press in before removing to the front of the car.

 

HTH :wink:

Aww shucks :oops:

 

No problem, there is a better/more comprehensive guide somewhere on the Wiki, but couldn't find it when I needed it, so made my own abridged version for the garage!
