The roof lining is out.

I can't see how you can remove the sun blind. Maybe if I wind the sunroof back and bend the blind up into the hole it might pop out but I don't want to risk it staying bent or breaking it.

It needs to come out as it so dirty its unreal.

I have spoken to a man in the know, Paul @NYRS and you have to remove the sunroof to remove the blind.

Thanks for your help Paul
