I've taken the 6 screws out to the 2 pieces that sit on either side of the center bar....but....they will not budge at all and i don't want to bend them because i want to see if i can salvage them before i have to look for new ones. I want to take my center bar off but can't see any screws holding it on. I have my headliner out and can't see where its attached. Do i have to take off the weatherstripping to get to any screws or anything in order to take it off?

 

4 more, one on each corner under the weathersrtiping

 

LOL...ahh man...i knew it. Can u tell me whats the best way to take the weatherstripping off? I just don't wanna get a blade and start scraping...unless thats how i have to do it.

 

i took the two mounting points off at the a and b pillars under the t top hole things, and twisted it slowly and slowly took it out with a large Flathead, but i decided to just replace it so i wasnt being super careful, you can prolly get it out without ripping it if you go REALLY careful

 

Ok. I really appreciate the help man....thank you.

 

ya np glad i could help after u get the screws out it is stuck in with some sticky weatherstripping seal stuff, my car came right out, however the one i took the new center bar from needed some negotiating but did come out, just an FYI if ur somewhere where its cold warming it up a lil migh thelp

 

The one on my 85 was glued on so well by the factory that I had to use a pry bar to get it off. There was no way to save my old one (not that it mattered since it was almost completely rusted out anyway). I would definitely try some heat if yours is being stubborn.
