Hey chaps,

Is there a DIY guide to removing the black head liner?

Mine has started to come apart so am looking to take it down and stick it together again

Thanks in advance

Sunroof mech. cover? All fairly obvious, apart from the two screws that live under the sunroof 'gurney flap'. Unscrew the flap to get at them.

It looks like the front 1/4 of the headliner

I was just a little worried man handling it as it feels fragile

That's the part. Saloon fitment only, but I've used a few in tourings when converting from manual sunroof to electric. Never broken one when modifying things to fit, so I wouldn't consider them fragile.
