#1 Has anyone got any experience re-doing these?

I'm redoing the headliner on my 2+2; the only problem is that it has a webasto (unipart?) sunroof. Inside, at the border of the sunroof, there are batons that are covered with the headlining. I can feel screwheads beneath the headlining, which are probably for removing these batons. But once you cover the batons, how do you rescrew back into place without making holes to access the screws?? Has anyone got any experience re-doing these?

I have not done an e with a Sebastow roof, but have done a few others and I may have the answer if I’m understanding your question correctly..
So I just did a factory hard top on an E type.
That’s comes in 5 different panels the centre,2 sides and front and back.
All the screws are hidden.
You do this by first gluing the material to the back of the panel being covered, Do not glue the facing side …
Screw the panel to where ever it needs to go then pull the material over the now screwed panel and glue it down, obviously the screws need to be flat head counter sunk and covered with 3mm high density foam, which should already be adhered to the back of the material.. hope that makes sense!!! It’s hard to explain I can send some pics of needed

If you haven't already got a copy, the original workshop fitting manual is here:

That should at least tell you how it all went together in the first place. Removal is the reverse of fitting as they (sort of) say.....
