    So the GTP I got, needs the sunroof replaced, i got one from the junkyard, but i somewhat ruined the head liner in the process.
    What is the best way/process to get the headliner off? I know the door handles and the sun visors have to be removed but after that im not sure.

    The A, B and C pillars have to be removed, then the overhead console or switch for it and sunvisors. After that it should have a little velcro holding it up.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    all the 'holy sh*t' handles need to be removed and also one plastic push pin needs pryed out at the very rear of the headliner in the and also the plastic trim around the sunroof hole itself. just work that out carefully. no bolts or clips on that trim.

    Yeah.. uh.. I forgot those

    I think GP visors have screws holding them up. If it's just an odd slot, LMK. I have the procedure for that dumb fargin Regal visor slot abortion

    yep, 3 Phillips screws on the visor itself and just one Phillip screw for the inner piece that braces the visor.

    also, since you're all the way in there, this is a good time to clean out all 4 sunroof drain tubes. i used the air compressorto send a shot of air through then the garden hose. all kinds of nasty crap came out...lol

    Front and rears just clip in, different style of clips from front to back but you'll see when they pop off.

    I can almost post more info if need be. I've had my sunroof removed twice. It's not hard but easier to do with seats out completely

    I replaced it this weekend the new one works! However I didn't get the sunroof trim with the new one. It was plastic on the junkyard car I hot it from. In my car it was like vinyl and glued to the sunroof. Is it possible for me to use the plastic trim on my car?
