T-Top and Window Trim Plates
How do the center trim parts where the T-top glass locks into come off?
Looks like that must be removed before the metal trim can be removed from the rear area of the door glass and rear edge of the t-tops. Got the screws out but it feels glued in. Looking up at the T-top bar from inside, it looks like there is at least one screw near the rear of the center trim part but not sure how to get to it. Any ideas? TIA

Here are some PICS since I am not sure how good a job I did on describing the parts I am talking about. The center sheet metal trim and the beam on top of it, and the metal trim that it T's against on the roof.

There are two screws at each end of the center rail. One screw on either side...under the weatherstrip. If you are attempting to save the weatherstripping, don't try to take the trim pieces off. You will have to destroy the W/S to get to the remaining screws. And yes, you have to remove the center rail before you can remove the other trim that lines the windshield and the roof line. The factory used double sided tape under them as well. Once you get all the screws out you have to GENTLY pull up on the rail to get it off. HTH
If you have any other questions feel free to PM me, I'll do my best to help you out. It is not an easy task to remove all that trim...been there.  Good Luck!!
