double back, why isn't this up yet? :p

Or the OP could kindly post the info.

its a lot more than that if you are going from a non glass roof and want it to function as oem. extra sliders and spring to retract the shade. Enough cutting that BMW saw fit to include a cut off wheel in the kit.

Back from the dead.

What exactly is being cut off? I think it might be the 2 posts that were originally intended to bend the inner sunroof liner when you pitch the sunroof up.

I can't figure out what to do with these 2 metal posts, but I have a feeling I must cut them off with a cutoff tool.

I got mine from the junkyard (the whole thing, frame, glass, lid etc). IIRC, i didn't cut anything but, i swap two pieces from the metal frame to the new frame. Post pics from a metal lid frame and I'll check my car.

How about those metal posts that originally made the inner liner piece bend up when you pitched the sunroof up? That won't work here with the new moonroof liner. It interferes it's sliding operation.

Forget it, I figured it out. You do need to cut off those tabs with a cutoff tool.
