My headliner material on the sunshade is sagging around the edges. Anyone know how to remove the sunshade so I can re-glue the liner?

If you are describing the visors then it is 10mm bolts. Plug for the visor is closer to the kick panel, or you could let it hang during the repair procedure.

 

Hmmm perhaps a more keywords in my description would help. Maybe I am not using the proper name either.

I am referring to the sliding roof panel that hides the moonroof. I have always heard of these as sunshades because they protect the interior from downward sunrays through the glass roof panel.

Nah, you are right, was picturing in my mind a convertible and not a coupe(look at signature). Looks pretty involved for removal. Also consider that many people post the sun roof plastic trim bezel breaks upon removal. Have you considered using a needle and syringe and injecting the adhesive without any dissassembly?

 

It would appear that the dealer has done something prior to my purchasing it a couple weeks back to hide how bad it was. Living here in Oregon... it has been surprising dry the first week of ownership and it didn't look too bad. Just a couple of spots here and there that were sagging.... but this week its WET! Pouring rain like crazy the last two days and the sag has gotten way worse. I could attempt that method but I really can't see it lasting very long in this humid weather.

Think the greatest factor in longevity would be type of glue and how much you were able to apply underneath. 3M 88 or higher is the recommended headliner adhesive for repairs. Uncertain if you could apply it other than spraying from the nozzle.

 

Agreed. Sure would be a lot easier if I could remove it and bring it inside. Would be alot easier to glue and get the material taut as it should be. And then let the adhesive cure in a 70 degree environment.... rather than a damp 35 degree environment.
