Default Sunroof question

Is it easy to remove the sunroof on my 97 avenger. I need to have the sliding front visor recovered? It looks like the unit has to come out before the visor.

I read on another forum that you have to remove the whole head liner to remove the sunroof. I just need to recover the visor. Can I remove that easily without removing the head liner?

Thanks. On mine there are 6 bolts. I opened the sunroof a little bit and removed the bolts and the glass came out easily. The visor is held in with spring loaded pins and it came out with no problems.

I was able to recover the shades with material from Jo Ann Fabrics and some permatex headliner spray from NAPA. My wife says it looks factory. Thats good enough for me. I wasn't able to use suede or fleece because the color wasn't available. I used regular material and it matches color and texture really well.
