Don't want to break it
 

Trying to remove the sunroof liner so I can unbolt the sunroof shell - reading through here it says "just pull it out/down" I can only pull down the front about 3/4 of an inch and cant feel any clips or anything? also with the roof up it looks like the liner is held in or slid into 3 clips? any advice would be appreciated

I just did this.
Open the sunroof a bit.
Reach onto the edge of the sunroof liner and pull down..
Now,there are plastic pin clips in the middle of the sunroof liner,so either move the roof back more or stick your hand in between the Roof and the liner.separate the panel from the metal sunroof.
The last part of the liner slides into a Tab,so after you have the Front and middle off the Sunroof panel,then just pull the liner Forward(towards the front of the car) and it will slide out.

THX I'll give it a try today

BTW --- my 88 had 7 clips

If you break it ive seen a couple new headliners on ebay recently
