Default 1981 Pillar Post & Header Molding Removal

Hi,
I am working on the interior of my 81 Corvette and need a little help.
I removed the screws for the pillar post and header moldings but they do not want to budge.
There were only a couple screws I could see on both and I didn't want to take a crow bar to them yet!
can anyone one tell me how to removed these items so I can give them a fresh finish?

thanks,
Dale

Thank you for the reply.
I remembered that I had an assembly manual and so I dusted it off and found the pages related to these.
I couldn't believe that I just totally missed all the additional screws!
They came off without a problem and I'm preparing to paint them.
Have a great day.
