                Sunroof is actually not too bad, 2 pairs of hands makes it easier
                Its the small things like snapping nla trim in place which gets you worried, aligning door frames so as no wind noise can be tiresome, going to be superb when finished
                More and more getting this level of work done as values rise

                      Cheers I've done sunroofs a few times so hoping that goes OK, luckily we only had 1 clip that broke on the rear drivers door where the rubber joins the corner of the window, frames look straight forward fitting wise but as you say alignment is gonna be the key.
                      Thanks for your kind words

                          Snap, I had the very same on mine, did not know it was a snap in, luckily I got another push in clip from a breakers yard. Other tricky area was the trim above the doors and trim to cover the rivets, heat gun is your best friend on old plastic
