Might not be 100% comprehensive, but it gives you the general procedure:
- Open sunroof
- Remove front air-spoiler
- Remove strip securing headlining panel to sunroof aperture
- Unbolt ends of cable guides from body
- Unbolt manual mechanism and withdraw the from the cables
- Close the sunroof
- Feed cables into guide tubes of new mechanism (which needs to be in the fully closed position)
- Run loom down LH A pillar to the accessory socket above the glovebox
- Bolt it all back together, using the new headlining panel
Just a general warning - there are LOTS of nasty sharp bits in sunroofs which WILL cut you!
