I have a small bit of rust on the inside of my sun roof. I want to take out the sun roof and repair it. Any advice?

I presume it's the same as early volvos, (I.e 850s) if so it's headlining out undo the 8 10mm bolts holding in the rail cassette and then dropping it down, it's about 1hrs work, I did my 850 last week.

Is dropping the lining easy enough? Dont want to crease it.

Why did you take yours out?

It's pretty simple really just undo all the grab handle bolts, sunvisors and clips, I removed mine as I had it trimmed in black alcantara material. Just be mindful the sunroof cassette is quite heavy so you will need assistance.

Thanks neal. Bet the black lining makes a big difference. Was that expensive then?

You could probably dye it.
