You will need a 17mm wrench or socket, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, and a plastic "panel popper" or a flatblade screwdriver to gently pry with.

You need to remove the rear seat and the lower panels that cover your rear speakers as there are some hidden screws you will need access to in order to remove the panels around the window. There are 3 screws in each "speaker" panel. If you haven't already removed the top mounts for your seat belts, you will need the "pry" tool of your choice to remove the covers from the tops of all the seat belts. I find that if you pry from the bottom corners, they come loose pretty easy. Now you will need the 17mm to remove the bolts from the seat belts. They're long, so if you've only got a wrench, be prepared for a LOT of turning. :ohdamn: Once those are free, there's also three screws below the window. I honestly did not check to see if the "garment hook" screw was a support screw when I disassembled this part my GSX, so I'd recommend removing it just in case. :thumb: At this point, the panels should come off pretty easily with a little pulling. You will find the same plastic push pins as you found behind the 'A' pillars. Now just remove the trim around your sunroof, and the headliner will fall. ;)

Hope that answers your question! If need be I've got pictures I can send that might help, if they didn't upload to this post...
