Open the car door and stand on the sill plate, you can see a small cover in the middle section of the sunroof trim panel. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to pry it open. After removing the small cover, you will find a 10mm screw. Use a 10mm tool to remove it. Stand at the rear wheel position to remove the rear section of the sunroof trim panel. There is a cover fixed with clips on the surface of the rear section. Use a plastic pry tool to lift it and release the clips.
I just tried removing the sunroof headliner of my Audi A6L by myself. As a novice car owner, I had to be extra careful throughout the process. First, prepare tools like plastic pry bars and a Phillips screwdriver—avoid metal ones to prevent scratching the interior. Start by removing the headrests of the front and rear seats to create space. Then, gently pry open the trim panels on the A-pillars and B-pillars from the rear of the roof, taking it slow to avoid tearing the fabric. The edges of the headliner have adhesive strips and metal clips, so use the pry bar to push them in bit by bit. Disconnect all electrical connections, like the reading lights and sunroof control module, to prevent short circuits. For sunroof-equipped models, pay extra attention to the areas around the sunroof tracks. Once removed, lay the headliner flat before taking it out. The whole process took me two hours. After removal, I checked the sunroof for any sticking issues. I recommend beginners watch online tutorial videos first to avoid breaking small clips like I did on my first try.
