Morning Ron, it is actually very simple, however as you know I had two Murena's to make one good one and they were fitted in different ways! It is not necessary to remove the sun visors but disconnect the three wires for the internal light. Two power the light and the third goes from the light to a mounting on the chassis as an earth and can easily be missed (as I did) At the rear of the headlining you will see three self tapping screws. Remove the outer two and slacken off the middle one but leave supporting the rear. At the front you (may) see five poppers. Remove these getting an assistant to hold the roof pull these out, then remove the last self tapper. If you remove all the front support or rear support you "could" damage it if it falls.I did it on my own and mine didn't fall its just it could.
The other type I had omitted the front poppers, The front and sides were supported by the lining being wider and longer and being glued under the upper door rubbers. It was offered additional support by being clued to the sound proofing which sits between the roof and lining. It is a fragile and brittle type of plastic, mine had a small area of damage but was easily fixed with fibreglass sheet.
Replacing the material was a little harder but not much but took a few hours... Please don't laugh but this is how I did it after trying the usual methods of soaking in solvents which didn't work. I poured boiling water on the lining to soften the clue and carefully pulled off the material, this removed the top layer, I then got some hair trimmers and "shaved" most of the remaining off. This left a very thin layer still glued on so I used a blow torch (the small type you use in the kitchen) and carefully scorched what was left, gave it a wipe and it all came clean.
My roof had sagged slightly so I cut thin strips of metal and riveted these to the top side. This is on page 5 of my doings. Have fun!!
