The drip rails (drip mouldings) are actually part of the Body Side panels, where the roof attaches to the side.

Removing

discussion

You need good door rubbers that seal real good -- the water runs off the side down the side windows instead of in the drain and then down the front or back. Just grind where the spot welds are inside the door opening. and the whole rail will come off. To regain strength, weld the roof skin to the car the full length.
