Open the sunroof a bit, carefully pop the 7 or so metal spring clips from the leading edge then slide it back into the roof void.

The two spindly arms attached to the sunroof lining are 'snap clicked' in. You *can* remove them without further dismantling, but it's a damn sight easier to remove the sunroof panel completely and then the runner which you mention as well.
