headliner removal

Car: 2002 C230 coupe

The spring is coming, and my car will be on the road from March 8th. I need to remove the headliner on my coupe, to get to the jammed sunroof and try to fix it myself.

Where can find how to take the headliner off? Is there a DIY? Does Mercedes have the instructions on how to do it?

This contains how to remove the headliner. It was in the DIY Mod sticky at the top of the W203 page for future reference. GL on fixing it though and if you do maybe even post a DIY thread on this.

How hard was it to do?
Do you have any tips for me?
How did you approach the airbags(disconnect the battery)?
Do you have any precautions?
