in other words, easy!! Remove handles, and two plastic square things at the back and maybe some above the rear windows. If you get it off and its not ruined i may be interested in having it off you!

Found this in a search. I'm no wiser now though? I'm told I need to remove all/part of it to repair leak in front o/s sunroof drain. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Non-sunroof headlinings are a bit of a pain to remove intact, as they're well stuck on and all too easy to damage/crease if you try and rush it.

 

Basically, remove all the bits around the edges that secure it (roof console, sun visors, grab handles, A pillers etc), and slowly work your way around seperating it from the roof skin.

 

Factory (vacuum) sunroof headlinings are much easier as they much much less adhesive on them - pretty much just glued to the slider frame.

Cheer's Anthony, so would the outer edge of the lining just be inside the rubber seals then? I just need to get to the drain pipe that goes down the front o/s door pillar in order to see where the leak is. Terry.
