How to replace sunglass/map light and surround

Guys,

My sunglass holder door broke off, and I ended up buying the whole surround which includes the sunglass holder, map lights etc. I was looking at how to install it, and am not sure how. I did some searching and some people said the headliner needs removed, others said it didn't. Anyone know for sure? It's an 06 coupe with sunroof. Thanks,
Jonny

There's about 8 circular metal clips that hold the assembly to the headliner. You need to access the other side of the liner in order to install. I would recommend removing the entire headliner since it is flimsy and might get damaged if you just try dropping the front half.

Thank you for your response. Sorry it took me a while to respond. Do you know if there are any DIY's anywhere that I might follow to remove the headliner? Thanks again

Factory service manual outlines this exactly. Look under the DIY section for the FSM.
