Default New 4th gen owner with questions

Hey i just got a 92 4th white Prelude for free from a friend of mine. The paint is in shitty shape and i'm currently doing the $50 paint job on it, but i can't figure out how to remove the seal around the sunroof. Any help would be appreciated. Pix will be posted once i finish.

the rubber molding around the sunroof?
if so..the sunroof has to be removed
then you can unscrew the plate that scandwiches the rubber molding

theres a better description of how to remove it using the search feature..

but heres what i remember
pop the roof up a little
remove the rubber/felt molding from the inside
slide roof back/forth till the grooves on the roof line up with the screws on the sunroof interior panel
unscrew those 2 screws
pry the roof down...theres about 3-5 plastic clips holding it up
then slide it forward coz the butt end of the panel fits inside a slot in the roof
then just unbolt the bolts you see holding the roof
