question re: sunroof repair - how to take out roof liner?

i read the deezos writeup on the repair. but it wasn't really clear how all the things attached to the roof liner were removed, like the visors, and 'oh ****' handles. do i just pry those things off? i dont see any screws or bolts. and once all those are off, does the roof liner just drop down? or do i have to pry/pull that off too? i will to attempt it this weekend as i got the repair kit today. thanks.

liner

when i redid my liner in blue vinly i took out visors, lights, those handles ( and all six of the pillars)-and the front and back of the liner has clips- snap em out- and mine has a sunroof so it had clips too and when i took it out i pulled it towards the front window and it just came totally loose, the hard part was getting it out, for some reason it was a pain cause its a tight, tight fit. and the side of it just fits into the rubber lining, hope this helps- just pry off the plastic covers on the visor and handles and then you need a screwdriver. hour tops

the pillars, do i just pry those off? they look like they would snap in place. and just pulling the liner toward the windshield will unsnap it?
thanks for your help. i really appreciate it.

the pillars do pry off,(or snap off) but take your time, grab em firm with equal force and start at the top and work your way to the bottm- its like a clip at top, middle and bottom.
do you have a sunroof? the liner has clips along front and back, first snap em loose and mine had em around the sunroof and those you just move the liner towards the front and they should snap out, kind of get it? it kind be a pain, but take your time. are you doing this to change something?
