Rover 16 1947, my friend a club member wants to remove the sliding sun roof,has anyone got any advice,we have looked at the workshop manual but it's talking about removing the whole roof,regards

Open the sunroof a bit, remove the single central chromed-head screw securing the locking handle to the transverse Rexine-covered bar and carefully remove the handle. Sometimes the handle is stuck on the shaft so jiggle it about a bit while pulling downwards. Then remove the 2 rows of small short screws securing the bar to the sliding section of the roof. Raise the front end of the sliding roof to clear the metal roof and pull it slowly towards the front of the car. It will slide right out on its felt-lined,( hopefully) greased runners which are mounted on short, spring-steel arms.
To remove the fixed roof section to the rear of the car, the headlining has to come down.

Thanks a lot for the information really helpful will give us some confidence when we remove it,regards
