Default Sunroof panel removal

Does anybody know how to remove the sunroof panel from outside the car?

I found instructions in the Porsche manual, but they are a little confusing.

Thx in advance

Here are two links that I read prior to removing my sunroof when I did the headliner upgrade:

I just recently reglued the fabric on the panel and removal was easy. I just angle opened the sunroof and slid it out the back.

I got it out very easy... Open sunroof a couple inches (not tilted). Gently sliding inside panel back...close and then tilt/vent roof ...mark torque bolts positions...remove 4 torque bolts. Pull it off.
