With the car off, you press the switch and the little arms retract away from the roof. Then you unclip the front clips and push up. Easy

what year is your car? IF its 85.5 you have to put the key into the #1 position meaning the first click from totally off- then press the sunroof button and it will either go up, or the arms will retract out of the roof- Then you can unclip the front and push it up and pull back and itll slipp off of the air foil in the front.

It will not come out when the arms are up. You need to lower the arms so that they come out of the clasps in the rear, then push up.

You have to get it to the closed position, then put the ignition in position #1 and press down or up, can't remember, anyway only one direction will work at this point. You will see the arms completely retract, then you can unlatch the front and remove it.

A search would have also turned up a bunch of posts with the answer.

3 arms??? Then sorry I'm out, I have no idea, can't help. There should only be 2

In any case, you might want to take a look at those.

1) pay attention

2) with the car off and the sunroof completely closed insert your key in the ignition.

3) move the key to the accessories position (DON'T TURN THE CAR ON)

4) Press your sunroof switch until the ARMs retract don't open your sunroof , what you want to do is keep it close and retract the arms so you can pull the sunroof out.

5) disconnect 2 front latches, sunroof should be free to remove.

There is not such thing like 3 arms, there is only 2 latches at the front and 2 arms at the end.
