Default Pull the headliner...

gotta get at it from under the roof. Yes, that means A, B, C, and D pillars have to come out, and all the interior roof accessories (handles, lights, consoles).

Default also if and when you remove your sunroof motor make sure the glass is in the closed position ..

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/32880/headlinerout.jpg"></center><p>move it manualy to the raised position to service.. let me know if you have other Qs.. as i am finnishing my own sunroof guide and link reapair..
photo is of my headliner out as you can see the sunroof frame and the rails are inside the frame
looking from rear to front notice the blue color of the motor clips.

No need to touch the sunroof motor.
