anyone out there tried to replace their sunrookf seal/strip? It requires the removal of the sunroof...which is a problem I cant seem to figure out. Im sure someone has done it..and much more easily than the pig of a job I am making of it...any ideas?

move roof back about 2" then pull front of the interior cover down so all the clips come out of metal part of sunroof, then you slide the interior cover back into the roof , then you move the sunroof into the tilted up poistion and look up and on each side there are 3 torxs screws which hold the sunroof panel onto the runners/mechanism, undo these and you can lift the roof out.

its is easy if you do what I said, I can get them out without even titling roof with my tools, , yeah need a long reach torx driver and its easy, awkward bit can be getting the lining back but just make sure all the clips at front are out and it will slide back into roof with abit of force
