Hi, you can find this in the C3 haynes manual (here). In their article they advise that it is clipped and glued in and requires a high degree of skill to remove it.

Basically it is a case of removing everything attached to the headlining, then remove the door and tailgate seals then hot gun and spatula to melt the glue holding it to the metalwork.
