Wind the sunroof all the way back, undo the screws then pull it out.

But becareful when pulling it out not to scratch the paint.

There are 2 screws near the winder inside too

Then put some heavy toweling over the front of the screen and roof and it cines out forwards

Debt bend it break the plastic tabs that hold the cable winder in place either
