Default '78 - '82 interior trim Q

I'm trying to replace the seat belt retractors in my '79. There are two trim pieces (one per side) that fit directly between the T-tops and the rear window. They curve down and cover the interior of the B pillars as well.

Mine will not come off (at least not easily). I have removed the four upper screws on each side, the lower screw near the door on each side, and the coat hook on the passenger side. I see no other mounting hardware.

Any ideas?

I haven't done this job yet so all I can offer is another question. Could it be dovetailed in to the next piece?

There are two small pieces in each corner that mount over the other pieces.

All the screws are visible there on that piece. If I remember correctly, there are 5 screws. I think one does attach through to the small 4" piece "L" shape, that attaches to the big trim piece that goes the whole wat around the back.
