Sunroom Interior Panel - Reinstall Help

[Dex.e30]

Is there some special trick to reinstalling the sunroof trim? It had me :curse:today.

I tried halfway open, tilted up, etc, but it always seemed too long and too wide to even start reattaching the pop-clips at the front.

WTF

That should read sunroof :)

This took me about an hour to get in right. I opened it halfway and slid the back part in and then popped the clips in the front. There is a sunroof DIY around somewhere.....

Thanks.

We wound up taking the entire assembly out to remove the drivers side track, #19, where the rear mounting point [where the torx srew mounts, was completely broken off ] We also applied some expoxy to the front areas of that same part on both sides where the piece begins to crack slightly.

My problem was trying to install the trim panel with the sunroof panel still installed. Its infinitely easier to do it without it installed.
