So I managed to get four out, on the wiki it says only 3-4 p ft
I went in with a small ratchet got one out with it easy the rest were fucking hard!
Had to get a big screwdriver however one is now rounded due to slipping withe the ratchet,
It's just the two at the front, and it's not that I'm weak! Don't know how but I've managed to bend and twist the torx bit?!
What now
Drill em? The car I'm removing it from
Is scrap anyway so
Can I cut anything?

slide the sunroof open and remove the screws from the brackets underneath so when you bring the sunroof panel back to tilt position you should then be able to lift it out.
the cables will still be attached with all the gubbing but you could cut these then you can get the panel away from the car to get working on the 2 torx that are rounded

Think my best option is to just remove it bolts in place, think po has replaced at some point at tightened them to 200nm and dipped the bolts in thread lock as the ones removed are covered in it!
