Removing interior trim and headliner in 1995 Toyota Camry

I need to remove the interior trim and headliner to get at my sunroof to replace a part. Can you tell me how to go about this and what all need to be removed to get the headliner out? I got a quote from my mechanic to do all the work himself for $500. The part is only a $16 part. Most of the cost is in the labor to remove the trim and headliner. He said I could save a lot of money if I could remove them myself.
Thanks for any help I can get with this.

My 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited sun roof does not want to open.

If your motor is audible and your fuses and connectors are okay, you may have to take a close look at the plastic gear parts up in the roof. The nylon parts do wear out since they are in the roof and more exposed to different temperatures. If any of that mechanism fails then your sunroof will stop working even if the motor is still good. It is a bit of a PITA to get to it since you will have to remove the headliner to get at the mechanism and then identify the worn part and replace it CAUTION: The sunroof system is timed from the factory so that the motor shuts off automatically when the sunroof window reaches a certain position. Extreme care must be taken when removing the motor, timing may be thrown off causing possible damage to the sunroof system. Anytime the motor is removed from the sunroof assembly the sunroof glass panel must be in the FULLY CLOSED POSITION or the unit will be out of timing. The drive motor cannot be reset to the park position after being removed.
CAUTION: The sunroof motor should only be powered through the vehicle battery and sunroof wire harness. Applying power to the sunroof motor leads will cause failure of the control module.

The bigest problem with this model jeep sunroof is the cable conduit in the rear of sunroof is broken loose. can be accesed by removing the headliner.

Sunroof Drain Tube

You have to remove the interior trim panels to allow you to pull down the corners of the headliner. Once you can see the sunroof track you will be able to see where the drains attach and hook them back up.
