interior swap - sliding sunroof headliner removal?

I searched both on here and google/yahoo/etc but haven't found what I was looking for yet, and I'm hoping someone has an answer for this one...

How do I remove the sliding headliner piece that covers the sunroof glass? I have the complete interior including the headliner removed from two 1995 4Runners except that sunroof piece. I'm switching interior for various reasons but I wasn't lucky enough to get matching colors so I need to swap this piece too.

Any help is much appreciated!

If anyone else runs into this issue I wanted to post an update. I talked to a dealership service dept. that was willing to discuss this one over the phone and they explained the procedure some.

To remove the sliding portion of the headliner material you have to drop the sunroof and disassemble it almost completely to take this out.

Yes you remove the entire interior from the shoulder up.Then you take out the entire sunroof assy.Then you disassemble the sunroof assy on the ground to change the sunroof cover.It will take you a solid weekend!Can't remember details but you will figure it out.

One a 3rd gen 4runner, there are two screws which hold retainers. They are tight against the ceiling, but a special ratcheting screwdriver got those off. Not 100% sure if the 2nd gens like yours have that, but I would search that option before taking the sunroof down.

I ended up selling the runner with it unchanged.
