Default About the moonroof

I was wondering about the moonroof. Specifically the clips on the front of it. I tried unclipping them and opening the moonroof, but nothing changed. I gave a few experimental pushes to see if it came out in some way, or came off. I don't want to break anything so I figured I would ask. What are those things for?

You have a power roof, right? Do a quick search... there's some special stuff you have to do to get it to unlatch in the back, which I can never remember because I never take it off.

I usually just open up the back (it lifts a couple of inches) and leave it on. The clips on the front are to keep it on your car when you do this.

-Turn the key to the first position
-Push the Sunroof Up Button until it stops (about 1 sec, it just unlocks the sunroof, it shouldn't raises it)
-Open the front to Clips
-While standing at the door, lift underneath and up (The windguard is inside the front of the sunroof, so you will have to lift the sunroof up off of it to remove)

To reinstall, do the above in reverse. (The directions, not the gear:P)

If you have an electric roof and a late car, you turn the ignition to the first position and press the back of the sunroof switch (up). The arms that hold down the roof will retract and you can unlatch and remove it.
If you have an early car you leave the ignition in the Off postition.

Please... Exercise some proper terminology here!!! (Or at LEAST respect for your elders.)!!!

Avoid the term: "Moon" Roof!!! Trying to "Moon" a cop through that small opening will twist one's back at my age... Much prefer to have it called: Sun Roof... You know... nice warm sun to sooth these old bones!!!
