Thanks! I'll look at that also.

So this weekend I get to finally remove the headliner. Gonna strip the headliner fabric and paint it. Also clean all the other crap and fix the sunroof. Replace the drain tubes(not leaking, but why wait).

Any ideas as to a color scheme? I thought of trying my hand at painting the Union Jack...

I would have to use some kind of stencil or template if I were doing that. I have ZERO artistic ability. Keep us posted though. If you're going union jack, why not go the whole way and do a jolly Roger skull and crossbones? Lol.

Pulled the headliner. Took all of 15 minutes. Found out the headliner fiberglass is MUCH thinner than I thought it was. So scraping it will take a little time. Also found the silicone between the sunroof frame and the drain tube to be failing, so will get that re-sealed. Found some moisture in the sunroof ECM. Gonna see if I can fix that and get the front sunroof working again. I never bothered using the rear sunroof because the PO had siliconed it shut. When I pulled the headliner, I found the motor had been removed. I think I'll leave it that way and just get the front one working again.

Old thread but for those who seal it do you remove the glass put the silicone down then fasten the glass back over the silicone and seal.
