Default Coupe Roof Top Trim strips removal/finish

On the coupe roof top, there is a trim strip about 5/8" wide that extends from the top of the windshield to the top of the rear hatch recess on each side about 2" from the upper body recess for the door header. My coupe's trim has flaked off, and requires refinishing, but only on one side. On the opposite side, the trim strip appears to have a vinyl covering of some type because there are tiny air bubbles that can be moved around with just your finger in a few spots. I checked the Crossfire Factory Tech's service manual and cannot find any mention of these trim strips anywhere in the body section or elsewhere in the entire manual. They appear to be plastic, or at least non metallic. It seems as though they would snap in/out, or flex and spring out. Can anyone provide information on these strips, materials, and/or removal and installation? Thanks.

If memory serves me, they are held down with 3M tape, removal is from the rear end, lift them up carefully. They can be purchased. They are metal.

These are for an '05, and the numbers in brackets are the color codes for an '05.
The number one is the quantity, it will not format correctly for me.
