can the sunroof visor be taken out with the sunroof closed or does it need to be open?? i need to remove it and clean it up cause it has a bunch of spots were it looks like the fabric has melted, guessing from the heat of the sun?

To get all of mine off I had to take it out, and was a real pain to scrape all that stuff off. I used lots of paint thinner to soften the glue

Youre probably going to have to install it through the top, so you have to remove the sun roof glass... make sure you DONT STRIP the screws, cause it will suck a lot

The last owner had one that was stripped so it was B@%$# getting it back in.

mines ripped, whenever I'm waiting I scratch pieces of it off haha... just trying to get it back to black plastic if anything, but it needs more attention
also i've had my sunroof opened before, but the last couple times I used it it would kind of bind... and my cover piece is also bound up and not right..... its like its off track or something.... Ireally need to tear into it and see what happened. I've just never messed with sunroofs before and I don't want to get into something that will take me more then a day....
thx for sharing some instructions
diagrams or pictures would be great, guess I"ll have to search a lot
