Can't seem to get mine to fit, and this has led to an unpleasant drip in this summer's thunderstorms because the rear gutter rail isn't aligned.

I've clipped the sunroof panel headliner's side arms to the gutter rail. Then I open the sunroof in the tilt-forward position, and try to slide the headliner's brackets over the sunroof mechanism's arms. Put I can't get the headliner far enough forward (it hits the main headlining), which means I can't get the front clips in properly. If I force it, the whole sunroof panel jams up and won't close.

Anyone got any tips?
