The header panel is almost free. Check along the windshield / front of the panel for urethene sealant. Sometimes when the glass is replaced some sloppy application of sealant will glue the panel to the glass. This will have to be cut free with a razor blade along the glass or equivalent.

The next step is to pull the header rearward and upward, to free the clip that is inserted into the top of the A-pillar. I've removed the A-pillar before to make this easier, but more than half the time at least one of the clips in the A-pillar will break, I've found this easier. Slide the end of the header panel upward and rearward until it pops out of the A-pillar trim, it helps to push the A-pillar trim slightly away from the A-pillar while doing this. The second end is easier as is installation (first pic).

Now remove the four passenger-assist handles. The bezels on the ends are clipped in top and bottom, pop them free and you will find the bolts under the free flap of vinyl (second pic).

You are now finished in the front of the car, move both seats fully forward and move to the rear.
