The whole lot. It's about time i lowered teh centre of gravity in my track car, so that means removing the lovely electric sunroof.
I've got the headlining out with the assistance of one of Mr Stanley's finest implements. What's the best way to get rid of the rest? Are tehre some really obvious bolts/screws that i've missed or do i need to go and buy an angle grinder?

Tilt it fully & you'll see three torx head screws on each side.

You need to take the lining off the sun roof, put it half way back and then pop it off. The you'll see the Torx screws in the sides, horizontally. And the motor is under the bump in the roof the where the mirror is attached, bit of weight there I should think.
