    Hello all,

    I have done quite a few searches and from what I can see to remove the overhead panel in front of the moonroof you have to just pull hard. Anyone with a moon roof with the connectivity package on a 2020 that can confirm this? I have pulled down pretty hard on the front and it’s not budging I don’t want to break anything important and all the info I can find I don’t see anyone with the wireless button for sos up there and the moonroof buttons. Is there maybe a different way of removing this?

    Just pull straight down from the rearward side. It's tight the first time but it's just 4 clips in the corners that hold it in. There's a connector on the driver side toward the rear that is for everything. It's the only connector to worry about but it has quite a bit of slack.

    Keep in mind that most ALL vehicles are snapped together plastic. Good chance that it will not go back together "good-as-new".

    Just sayin' I don't think I would be rippin apart my brand new 40K truck.
