Removing Sunroof Trim?

Recommended Posts

JR20516V

I have done a search and found heaps of info about the trim removal but nobody really explains in detail how to remove the console before removing the outside trim.

Does the console screw off or pull off or what. I dont want to break the flimsy plastic console as it is fastened on very tightly :{

 

On another thread somebody said just remove the interior light [done that ] and go from there...thus no mention of actually removing the console. Is the removal of the console an absolute necessity ??

 

Any tips before i cause a breakathon would be appreciated :}

What do you mean by console?

 

When interior light is out remove the 2 screws the front trim should come off by pushing forward.

You will then reveal a torx screw at the front of side trims remove these then carefully push trims towards middle of car while trying to slide them backwards.

When i remove the interior light from the roof console there are NO screws to be seen??? I also removed the 2 bolts [13mm from memory ] holding the sunroof handle and that hasnt done anything either LOL

After you remove the above screw, there are two more that become visible. When these two are removed, the front part of the sunroof trim slides toward the bonnet
