Convertible Header Molding Removal
Short answer: It’s a tricky, patient job. Remove every screw plus the A-pillar weatherstrip and trim (watch for a couple of hidden screws), then roll the header chrome forward toward the front of the car — start with the piece that overlaps the other at the center, above the rear-view mirror.
A lot of grey putty-like caulk underneath holds it firmly. Spray penetrant (RP7/WD-40) under it to break the seal, then get your thumbs under the trim and roll it up while pushing forward; once it starts at the center, slip a screwdriver shaft under it and work outward, scraping the grey sealer as you go. Be ready to walk away and come back — the trim is tough and resists bending, so don’t force it.
