Hey guy's ..... I was just chopping away at the Camaro today ,removing the roof . What holds the roof to the drip rail

About 1000 spot welds.

I found the easiest way to remove it was to grind through the spot welds with a cutting disc.

Yep, this is one spot where more rust helps out. My drip rails were shot so off they went too. It's easier to cut the roof off an inch or so back, then you can find and dispense with the spot welds. Good luck!

It's like they used some type of rolling spot welder. Grind through most of each spot weld and then peel off the edge of the roof. It helps if you cut the roof as close to the drip rail as possible. Tedious but not hard.
