T-top bar remove :(
Hello
Want to remove my t-top bar and have removed the 2 screws i each end. But there is also 3 rivets(NOT screws) on each side, its on the black metal. Is that normal ? Do i have to drill Them out to get the bar lose ?
Thanks

Two at the front, two at the rear, all hidden under the weatherstripping, and six more (three on each sides) visible when the T-Tops are removed. That's it.
There shouldn't be any rivet.
The middle section of the bar is held by a few small rivets, but you don't want to remove that unless you're repairing this part.

Just the screws noted above. It may have some seam sealer under it or if it has been off before who knows what they put under it, may make it hard to remove once the screws are out.

Is it rusty? The screw heads might have rusted off.
More likely you are looking at the rivets that are holding the center section like mentioned above.
