I decided to lubricate the front header rail but was unable to get the rail finisher off after removing the two screws and fur tree clips. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Disregard this inquiry as the answer has been found.

 

And what was the answer?

 

The rail finisher is held down with 4 screws. The two that are seen and two at the ends, almost as far down as the fur tree clips, which are covered up by the weather stripping and tape. Carefully push the weather strip toward the front of the car and a metal tab can be seen protruding from the rail finisher. Lift the tape and a small Phillips head screw will be visible. The finisher will then come off easily.

After much searching and no results I decided to post the question for help. Five posts then showed up, one by WhiteXKR, which mentioned the other two screws and the problem was solved.

 

 

Thank you, for reminding me to post the solution.

 

If we are talking about the same "header rail" that is to say the rail above your head in the car, the one with the circular lights? Then the how to remove can be found here, together with pretty pictures.

Also handy if you get the infamous 'green shower' from there too.
