Sunroof and removing the slider ( i did search !!! )

Post by harry90 »

So i searched and couldnt find anything....so how am i supposed to remove the sliding thing under the sunroof ? i have not really tried cos i dont want to break it...but i have tried lifting it up and moving it around...and also..were can i get material to re-trim it ? and how is it to be re trimmed e.g. glue, staples ?
Also i had the idea of retrimming my entire roof to leather...but i would have no idea how to go about doing this !!! if anyone has done this could you help me ?

    Not necessarily

    not necessarily. I just did the guide to remove the sunroof. If you open the sunroof all the way without opening the cover, you may well be able to get at it from above.

      ok...i FINALLY got around to doing this...so i took the inside slider out without removing the sunroof (was very easy) !...now i am looking to replace the material on the slider...is it just vinyl ? i checked on ebay but not sure exactly what im looking at...can anyone help as to where i can look at finding the correct material to replace the old ripping one on the sunroof slider (i only ask because i dont know much about fabrics and such) ?
