well TGIMFF again! finally done with classes for now and have aLOT more time on my hands....i ordered some new fabric (leather) that is coming in today and I was thinking of wrapping my sunroof slider....problem is how do you get that thing out? i searched all over came up empty handed =/ i was told b4 that u can just pull it out and slide it back in?? appreciate it

 

TGIMFF...lol...i assume it stands for "thank God it's mother f'ing friday" huh??lol...anyways, you gotta be a gangsta to have the cojones to just pull that thing out and pray that nothing breaks

 

LOL thats what im sayin! i may give it a go....

 

Not sure if this is any help but I think the whole roof has to come off?

 

hmmm....the slider is called the sunroof welt?

 

The welt is the trim around the opening of the headliner. You have to remove the entire headliner. Take extra care not to bend or crease it, to access the slide where the sunroof shade slides. From there on it's fairly easy.

 

im thinking instead of removing the whole headliner just one side of it and maybe be able to get the slider out? doesnt seem to bad after all just some clips and screws...hell i might as well do the whole headliner!

 

Anyone with a DIY how to remove the headliner? I just bought a car and the slider was already off?!? He told me I could just prob pop it back in but no luck yet..

 

Locksmith did his in the coupe. I think Calvin did to (His username changes all the time, just look for a admin everyone calls Cal )

 

i just did mine in suede with the ABC pillars and headliner. Once you get the headliner off, you just pop the slider off by taking a flat head and taking one of the two metal sliders on one side of the slider off the track. From there you can just slide it towards the back of the car without having to remove the sunroof tracks or drains. Install is reverse of removal just alot more difficult to get the slider back in the tracks. Probably took 2 minutes to remove just the slider and 45 minutes to reinstall(i have big hands) best of luck.
