Re: metal lip around windows
its it removable, yes. is it easily removable...no. its gonna require some cutting, some welding, some grinding, some body filler, and paint.

On my 85 IROC, the drip rail is held in place with several screws underneath the weather stripping.

Re: metal lip around windows
No grinding, filling... It is the drip rail. You may need a little paint after removal, depending on how it was painted, but remove the upper window seal, unbolt the seal track and you will see the drip rail. It is either screwed in or glued on, but is easily removed.
