Tip i used an electric jigsaw with a metal cutting blade and i cut the blade down so it didnt cut throught teh lining i then used a knife to cut the lining out after teh hole was cut so i had enough lining to fit nicley in to teh sunroof trim :wink:

Thanyou gadget. Pics have been a great help. Have already removed that bar. Sunroof arrives monday. Sheel is currently striped and sanded so shouldnt be too hard to fit.
Thanks, steve :D
