aftermarket sunroof in SR5 to be wired to limited console switch?

Here's my situation....please help
Looks like an aftermarket sunroof was installed at some point prior to me purchasing the 99SR5 base and the motor is in the rear of the glass instead of the front, like on all runners.
I just purchased a headliner from a 2000 limited that had a sunroof, so I'm crossing my fingers that the motor in the rear doesn't get in the way when installing the new headliner.
I peaked up there today and noticed the original headliner was cut across right before the sunroof and is still up there. The previous owner probably did not want to purchase a factory headliner to accommodate for the after market sunroof, so they cut the original in half and installed an aftermarket sunroof and then an aftermarket headliner over half of the existing oem headliner that is still up there.
Toyota must of made two headliners, one for sunroofs to make space for the rails, etc and one for non-sunroof SR5 base models. I may be wrong.

I hope the installation of limited headliner fits properly..
I'll also have to make sure that the drain tubes were installed correctly and hopefully Ill be able to tap into some wires for one-touch limited sunroof switch that I took out of the limited..

Does anyone know if I can use the limited overhead console switch, if my SR5 did not come with a factory sunroof? and if so how can it be wired?

Does anyone also have any drain tube routing diagrams?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks Guys!

x2 hopefully somebody will chime in on this. I have the almost identical set up in my 97 and I can't decide if I want to replace the headliner with a limited and wire up the controls, or buy a non sunroof headliner and cover the sunroof hole with sheet metal.
 
You know most upholstery shop will do a headliner really cheap most of the time at the same price and a new or or a bit cheaper. And they would take care of all the problems.
 
Well I pulled the entire headliner out today and noticed the aftermarket moonroof is a Vermeulen Hollandia, it looks pretty well made but has a few leaks. I could probably seal it up, but I have another option to purchase a limited moonroof for very cheap, but not sure if its worth swapping the aftermarket one for the limited, it may be APITA! But I would know for sure that my new headliner would fit then.

Did anything ever come of this? I still haven't resolved my problem with the sunroof/headliner yet.
 
I decided to leave the aftermarket moonroof in its place and removed the aftermarket headliner before winter. I do have a like new factory headliner I will install in spring, but the sunroof opening on factory headliner does not match up to aftermarket moonroof placement, so ill have to figure out something there.
As for the limited switch vs the standard sr5 switch, i decided to use the aftermarket moonroof switch and put it in the place of the factory tilt down/slide/tilt up switch location on factory limited moonroof console.

All winter I have been driving around with no headliner, but it gave me the extra time to monitor any leaks, repair them, and purchase some mastic and new padding before installing the new headliner in spring..
