Couldn't find any pictures but copied this from the Haynes manual if it's any use. I'll be doing this job myself soon...
Sunroof panel
Removal
1 To remove this type of glass panel, pull the
sun blind into the open position and have the
sliding roof closed.
2 Wind the sliding roof handle in an anticlockwise
direction for one complete turn.
3 Remove the three screws and clips which
connect the lower frame and glass.
4 Turn the handle to close the sliding roof and
remove the three screws from each side
which hold the glass to the sliding gear.
5 Remove the glass panel by lifting it from the
outside of the vehicle.
Refitting
6 To refit the panel, have the roof closed,
locate the glass and secure with the three
screws on each side. Once the screws are
secure give the handle one complete turn in a
clockwise direction.
7 Set the glass to align with the roof panel
and locate the lower frame to glass brackets.
Insert the clips through the brackets.
8 Insert the retaining screws in the sequence
shown (see illustration).
Adjustment
9 The sunroof panel can be adjusted within
its aperture and for flush fitting with the roof
panel in the following way.
10 To correct the panel-to-aperture gap,
bend the weatherstrip flange as necessary.
11 To adjust the panel height at its front
edge, release the corner screws, raise or
lower the panel as necessary and retighten
the screws.
12 To adjust the panel height at its rear edge,
release the two screws at each side on the
link assemblies and push the links up or down
within the limits of the elongated screw holes.
Retighten the screws when alignment is
correct.
Sunroof sliding gear
Removal
13 Remove the glass panel as described
previously in this Section.
14 Turn the sliding roof regulator handle
clockwise to the fully closed position. Extract
the three screws and remove the regulator
handle and the handle cup.
15 Extract the four screws from each side
which hold the sliding gear to the roof (see
illustration). Lift up the front of the gear and
withdraw it from the front of the sliding roof
aperture.
Refitting
16 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but if
necessary adjust the sunroof panel as
described previously in this Section.
