Hi And thanks Rich, forgot to say the motor I,m putting the mirror into is a 318i (c reg),so it does not have a oc so cannot pull the oc out, there for, its the front panel piece with the sun visors on,thanks again,joeboy

The headlining doesnt need to be removed!

[SPADGE]

To remove the black panel around the sunroof switch you need to take the 2 screws out underneath the wind deflector that comes up when you open the sunroof.
Also pull off the door seals around the top front corner as its tucked around the door apperture.
Remove both sun visors and their clips.
Thats about it from memory.

Windscreen pillar side trim pulls straight out at the top (spring clip) and then has to be lifted straight up to unhook a clip near the bottom.
