How do you clean sunroof cover?

How do you clean the top part of the cover for the moonroof? like if you were looking from outside the car looking in the moonroof with the cover closed you see a bunch of dust and dirt. My vacuum cleaner can't reach in there when I tilt the roof. I was wondering if there was a way to do this.

you can take tha glass out:

2 phillips screws (plastic) they hold on the plastic trim

4 10mm nutts ( i think its 10mm) and thats it!

Just make sure you remeber where the shims are. they hold the glass up a bit at each side, so it is even with the roof. put them back in the same places.

remove the glass like the above post (I've done it, not hard). Or use a leafblower to blow it all out. Then either vacuum or blow out your interior.
An alternative would be small crevice atachments on your vacuum hose. I have a micro set (for computers) that work fairly well, but because of their small size they take a while to do a good job.

Alright I'll look at it when I get home and see how hard it looks. I get nervous taking things apart, with my luck something always goes wrong like I loose a screw or strip a screw etc... but I'll give it a try.

Thanks - TMaxx
