Hyundai Repair: sunroof sunshade, sunshade, headliner


Question
I own a 2002 Hyundai XG350L.  My son, while sitting in the passenger seat, pushed up on the sunshade on the passenger side.  Two of the three clips that run in the channel for the sunshade slipped out of the channel and up above it.  I can't get them back down.  It gave going up but it won't going down.  Cannot pry it out enough either.  It won't slide back except with the sunroof.  It looks like I have to get the headliner out and get the shadeout and slide it back into place. How do I do this?  I got an exploded view from the dealer.  It looks like there is a stop at the rear that comes out after you can get to it.  HELP PLEASE the dealer says it may cost $500 to fix it.  A body shop says possibly $150.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer
Ideally, you'd take the sunroof glass loose and access the sunshade through the sunroof opening, but if you cannot get the sunshade back to take the glass out, you'll need to break the sunshade or remove the headliner to gain access.  

If it were me, I'd try to open the sunroof a little so I could grab the front of the sunshade and pull it down.  That's the greatest chance of not being very involved, but also the greatest chance of damaging something.  On the other hand, if you break the sunshade, you can probably just take it out and leave it out.
