Bellster,
I took the interior apart on my hardtop chasing down an annoying noise a couple of years ago. My recollection is all of the plastic trim pieces are held in with plastic fasteners. They are easy to remove and re-install, but may require a little force. There is a specific chronology you will have to follow when removing the interior panels, but you will figure it out once you start. Sorry I have no knowledge on the roof strips.
Here are a couple of pictures of the internals removed.
I believe the top is aluminum.
Best of luck.
