I was wondering how to remove the metal trim piece that holds the headliner up. (Circled in red in the pic.) I can't find any screws or obvious clips to remove it.

When I replaced my headliner I just stuck a flathead screwdriver behind the pad right before the metal lip and slid it along until that side of the pad was out from behind the trim. Then I just lifted the pad out at an angle from the outlet side and pulled it out the tailgate. Probably not the best method but it worked for me

That is how my dad removed his headliner but I need to remove that trim to replace the front windshield trim.
