This isn't a guide listing every tool needed and nut and bolt but it will give an overall help to anyone planning to replace their opensky sunroof. I've assumed that by attempting to do this yourself you have at least a basic DIY mechanic skill level.
First up is just the basics of disconnecting the battery and discharging the system (attempting to open a window is a good source).
Next remove all of the interior trim that will prevent the roof lining from being removed. This includes the sunvisors, interior light units, grab handles and all A and C and D pillar covers.
Then remove the B Pillar covers. To do this you will need to remove the top mounts of both front seatbelts with a 17mm socket.
Now that you've removed all the items above its time to remove the headlining. The headlining is held in place by a series of clips around the sunblind of the opensky and also the edges of the headlining. It's also held in place by 2 hex head screws and 2 8mm bolts. The photos below show the locations.
Photo 1 shows the two in the recess where the front interior light used to be
and photo 2 shows the mounting points at the rear which are underneath the D pillar covers.
Next you will need to manually open the roof. In the centre of the electric motor for the roof is a small hole for an allen key. Insert an allen key head onto a ratchet and turn anticlockwise to open the roof. This will then reveal a hex head screw in the runner of the roof. The photo here shows the location but with the screw removed.
Now that the headlining is removed and the two screws in the runner are done its time to remove all of the 10mm bolts that actually hold the frame in place.
The first photo shows the location of the mounting points at the rear.
and photo 2 shows the mounting points at the front.
These bolts are also accompanied by 3 further 10mm nuts along the front of the roof and 2 at the rear but their location is more than obvious when removing.
