    Sunroof service - headliner out?

    I need to service my sunroof from the top which requires disconnecting the motor from the cassette - does the headliner have to be lowered to do this or is there enough room after taking the square piece that holds the switch out?

    Thanks.

    Well remove the small panel and you will see, but I think there should be enough room.

    Are you replacing all the plastic pieces that compose the mechanism?
    If so the cassette has to come out.

    No, but I was hoping to replace parts covered in this DIY:

    All your answers are in that diy. Are those parts still available?
