My experience with sunroofs came from an 84 XJ6.  There are two aspects
to this operation.  You can remove the outer panel from outside the car. 
The sunroof maechanism, on the other hand, is a major assembly wich must
be removed from inside the car after removing the headliner and a lot of
interior trim.  In either case, I would strongly recommend that you get a
good manual, preferably Bentley's, but Haynes' will do, and study it
thoroughly before you turn a screw. 

I asked the same question about windshields recently, resulting in a long
thread of correspondence which can, I think, be retrieved via the digest.
 Bottom line is that you must cut the windshield out using a "wire saw" 
which you could, I suppose, fabricate or you can buy it from Eastwood and
other places.  The consensus seemed to be that this was a job best left
to professionals, particularly the re-installation.
