A big thank you to Dopey for the how to and Wazzajnr for rescuing the pics.
I'm part way through the headliner replacement (Headlining out and hunting down leaks) and broke some trim clips that I wouldn't have broken had I seen this write up first - Doh!
At least It's solved the mystery of how to remove the sunroof sun blind, so a big thank you again and I shall try and remember to post pics when done.
Off to Martrim now to order a kit.

Did my headlining a few weeks back, but ran out of time on the sunroof shade.
Finally got it fitted today, but having a problem with the trim that goes around the sunroof hole & holds the headliner in place. It's fine either side & the rear, but along the front nearest the wind deflector the trim refuses to stay attached. It pushes onto the headliner & metal edge ok, but will not hold. I'm assuming it's lost the ability to grab ?
Wondering if I need something to stick it into place, or look for another trim ?

If it has metal inside the gripping edge you can tap it lightly with a hammer to close the gap and it'll grip once again

Sounds like a very convenient service that saves a lot of time and faff

An easy afternoon's work as I recall. Easier with 2 people as almost all jobs are.

I don't recall any issues but I don't have a sunroof. I do remember having to ease out the A and B pillar trims carefully.
