    Does anyone know how to remove the sun roof knob on pre facelift cars. The rubber crap on it is peeling off and i want to take it off to repaint it. I cant figure it out and don't want to break it. Anyone remove this before?

    If you mean the knob on the control, then yes it just pulls right off.

    +1 - if your going to repaint then gently grasp it with some pliers and it should come off. Sand it down and spray it with a spray paint meant for plastic. Did mine a year ago and it still looks new

    If you want to remove the entire unit, there are screws under the light cover (I believe there are 2?) and then the whole unit comes down with 2 connectors holding it.
