SELWYN what's the best way to loosen those two fasterner running down the middle of the roof dude. Should I just force with a screwdriver?

[Lester]

He's my experience

1.) Tools needed so far, Screw driver and Touque set.
2.) Remove head rests and lower seats
3.) Remove sun visor and all other fittings.
4.) I wedged out the fasterners in the middle of the roof using two flat screw drivers.
5.) loosen pannels with tourque screw driver.
6.) mark wires and remove interior light.
7.) I opted to cut the wires to the arlarm sensor
8.) It;s easy after this just pop out the ceiling and manouver it out the back door be carefull not crack the mould dont be impatient.

Guys I have a question.

I got someone to do my roof lining but the idiot cut the wires to the light and never replaced it.

Where do i trace the wires from? so i can rerun the lines without having to take the lining out.

Edit: I cant take it back to him, guy resprayed my car and thats far from where i stay.
