Those front pillar clips..UGH! You have to twist them so that they fit into the notch on the pillar. But there's really no room to get your hand in there . Finally got it.

My moon roof is not working at all. The dial (inner parts and outer) is the problem. I posted a new thread asking for help but to anyone in there who has taken apart the moon roof module....please let me know you're knowledge of this. Everything is all done except for the inoperable moon roof. I posted a new thread seeking help and explaining the problem a bit.

Once everything you listed is taken off there are some Velcro tabs placed throughout the liner around the sunroof area you need to separate it from the roof and then pull down a bit not to far and you should be able to get it over the lip of the sunroof. The lip i'm talking about runs the length of the front of the sunroof. Make sure you have removed the dome light screws and the visor clip screws and the tiny third blind spot visor also. Hope this helps....... Oh almost forgot if your windshield has ever been replaced then there is a chance some of the adhesive used could have adhered its self to the liner so make sure you carefully check that also.

To bad you aren't in California, I have an extra headliner that you could re-wrap. Thanks for the props on the head rests I thought they were a nice touch I almost put the logo in the upper part of the seat, but I think this was a much better choice.

It's just a Flipdown tv (one of 7 tvs). The dvd player is mounted in my glove box and runs a completely separate audio/video system than my factory sound. Fortunately there were 2 because my capacitors just went out a couple days ago and I have no power ... so I can still listen to the factory radio. The one time it would ever benefit anyone to have 2 sound systems hah
