Sunroof + Headliner = fun??

So my sunroof decided it didn't want to work anymore and also decided that when it took its' own life that it would do so without being fully closed..haha. Crap.

The tilt/slide brackets are not cheap at over $300 each side. I got lucky and found a full 2001 sunroof assembly and made an offer. Less than $200 later...the project began.

One thing you must know is that to remove the sunroof, you need to remove the headliner as well. Mine has never been in the best condition..so why not freshen it up since I have to have it out anyhow. I wanted something nicer than the factory cloth and opted for some nice beige suede 1/8" foam back headliner material. I got two cans of Permatex headliner adhesive and got out my tool boxes.

To make a long story short, I switched out the best parts of each to make one sunroof to rule them all! lining up the sunroof motor was the hardest part of the whole process. The picture shows my results of a good hard days work! Enjoy!!
