Takes time...


you roll the sunroof back into the car.. (open it)

Peek in, use fat flat head screwdriver pry off headliner/cover fasteners

once that is done, roll sunroof back closed, and push the headliner/cover back into the roof (as if it were connected to the sunroof when you had it open)

then when the headliner cover is pushed back away you can crank it a lil bit more so that it lifts open reversed cowl style..lol

since now you have removed the headliner/cover you can look to each side of the sunroof panel and see the 6 bolts (3 on each side) that hold the sunroof tracks to the panel (they are torx bolts dont member the size) carefully remove and install them, too much force can break your rails and most rails are already brittle..

once you have the sunroof panel off you are done?
I dont know what your trying to do...
are you replacing the panel cause its rusted dented... does your sunroof not crank... you may need to do more depending on what you want to do.

if you have more questions..

ASK!!!

You can actually search, but it was hard for me to find info when i needed so ASK... Someone will help instead of being a cool-SEARCH-guy

P.S. practice makes perfect, trial and error taught me what i know bout the e30 sunroof, it aint much, but I would be willing to help you out if we can agree on a place n time I live just outside of Los Angeles... 90660.

i guess i broke one side of the rail. Now i cant roll the sunroof all the way back so I can take out the liner. Any suggestion??

how hard is it to replace the rail?

thanks!, appreciate the help.
