Help with removing this peice...

Im getting my Camaro ready for painting and I cant figure out how to remove the plastic peice that goes over the roof where the drip rail on most cars would be.

It feels like its screwed on but i dont see any screws. Anyone have a clue on how to remove them?

Thanks

I dont think its a t-bar, its a thin piece of plastic that runs the roof line just above the door window.
Its not on the window but on the body just above the window

do a search for "drip rail removal". I think theres a few screws under the weather stripping but I may be wrong.

I just took mine off the other day and it was screwed on with the screws being under the weatherstripping. I destroy the weatherstripping in the process but it need replacing anyway.
