Default Sunroof - not working

My sunroof has stopped working. Its getting power as it makes a slight sound when trying to open it. Are there any video's on headliner removal for '99 model ?

This is the best I can do.

I think to remove the head liner pretty much means most of the interior comes out. Maybe the front seats can stay but need to be tilted way back. Take some pictures.

I removed my headliner without pulling all the trim. See my thread here. It's in my 94, but I don't believe there was much change.

I'm currently cleaning and sealing my moonroof pan. I'm really just looking for what to grease it all with. I already pulled the entire assembly out and I'm gonna put it back today. Hopefully. After I spray some flex seal in to hopefully reduce leaks. Gonna post a thread about it soon.
