Lots of small screws and non setting sealant for the sunroof parts. The edges of the stainless steel plates are razor sharp!
Any bodywork place should be well versed in taking out and fitting bonded screens these days, or you can remove them yourself with a serrated wire tool.

ok seems easy enough but now it pissing it down so will do this tomorrow hopefully and not lose part of my finger lol


yeah the body shop said they can do it with the wire tool but was going to get it done at home and keep glass safe but they can do it if it comes to it
