do you have a pic of them , are you talkin about vent visors, if they are , then you should have to apply some heat to them to get the sticky back to try and release.

As I recall, the drip rail screws are accessed from beneath the weather stripping.

You will also have to remove the plastic moulding that holds the side of the headliner in place to see the screws.

To remove the drip rails you need to carefully pry the weatherstripping out of the channel along the top and the front A-pillar; then remove the phillips-head screws and remove the channel itself. It's been a while, but I *think* the drip rail itself is held on with more screws.
They were only put on the hardtop cars, and sometime along the production run they were eliminated from the cars - my 84 Z28 had them, but my 89 Formula does not. Yet.
