Passenger side skirt question 1987 Iroc.

Hey guys I had some curb damage to my passenger side skirt a couple months ago. I've never removed it since I bought the car almost 20 years ago, but today I tried to remove it and came across a problem. I've got the 7 bottom screws with metal washers removed as well as the 4 screws from the top of the skirt on the passenger sill removed. Feels like the middle wants to give but the outer ends won't budge.

I don't see any other screws to remove. Called a friend and he suggested there may be adhesive on the ends. Not sure how to remove it. Don't wanna destroy anything in the process.

Anyone know if this thing may be glued on the ends or resting on retaining clips on the inside or something?

Any advice on removing it with which tools so as I avoid any damage? Thanks for any help.

I kinda figured but I was hoping that wasn't the case.

Thanks fellas
