There's like 3 phillips screws on each side of the glass up above the headliner. It's pretty easy to remove, but more a pain to get it back in & lined up right.

The moonroof data is buried in: Section 46 - TOP AND EXTERIOR FINISHES. Section 47-07, Moon Roof, Electric. Page 46-07-1.

I searched page by page thru my '89 FSM to find this information a couple of weeks ago. I can think of at least three or four other places they could have put this information that makes more sense! Good luck with your moonroof work.

Hmm. I don't have a 47-01 or 46-07-1.

I wonder if it was added after I got my manual..I got mine back in the spring of 89. How many pages does it contain?
