This is the piece which spans the width of car and runs from the windshield aft to the leading edge of the sunroof.

I've removed the sun visors, the rear view mirror, the front dome light, and the thin trim at the aft edge of the piece. Yet, its still stuck fast to the car. Clearly I'm missing something else. I just want to try and remove this section and leave the headliner alone, in order to get to those drain tubes.

Any suggestions?

PS
I have already fixe the AC evap tube, checked the hood hinge pockets for obstruction and pulled the battery tray. I've also run a garden hose all over the front windshield seal and the cabin fresh air intakes. No leaks noted, but leave it out in a rainstorm and the carpets are soaked on the SIDES of the car, immediately forward of the front door hinges. I have read that the tubes connecting the sunroof pan to the A pillar drain tubes rot away with age.
