Default Roof Panel Question

I purchased a 92 coupe with what appears to be an after market smoked glass roof panel. When attempting to remove the panel I observed there are no attaching bolts located under the trim piece where the hole is located near the sun visor. I lowered the trim piece and observed two bolts towards the front of the panel. Any ideas ?? I would appreciate any thoughts. I'm probably overlooking something simple. Thanks!!!!

There should be a T40 in line with the hole in the trim panel on each side. The bolt head is captive in a kind of plastic sleeve that keeps it from rattling around with the top off. The shaft on the wrench has to be a few inches long to reach up into this sleeve. Does any of this sound familiar?

Thanks for your help. The bolts were misaligned with the panel about 2 inches. I just drilled another hole in the plastic panel and the panel was off in two minutes. Thanks Again !!
