Can't get sunroof out...

[IanRyan]

My sunroof has been leaking and I'm just getting as wet sitting in the car as I would be on the bonnet. I believe the drainage pipes are blocked as the rust is building up in the corners. I have all the nuts taken of front under the roof lining but when I try to push it up its stuck in the middle at the back.... Anyone help me with this problem?
Cheers Ian.

Any ideas?

there are nuts all the way round the bottom under lining
and I think though cant remember there may be some screws inside aswell visible
when roof open (though I may be confusing this with something else
long time since I bothered removing the sunroofs

Theres a bit of foam which is glued to the roof at the back of the sunroof, theres 2 more torx bolts under that. Need the headlining off if you havent done this already, fairly easy just time consuming.

i had the exact same problem removing mine, got really angry about! then as dan said, theres 2 screws kindly hidden by the frogs underneath abit of foam! once id undone them, she popped out a treat!

can you not just pull the roof lining away at the corner and pull the drain off to clean it? thats what i did to my girlfriends 106 on the weekend

No worries mate, i had the same problem at first! Bit of a stupid idea to put the foam right over the bolts!
