you mean the ones that start from the back of the car and go all the way to the bottom of the windscreen?
it just pulls off, you might break some clips but there dirt cheap to replace

They have a metal strip inside so try and be careful not to bend it so much. Attack it with patience and this:

i found driving around longleats safari park with the monkeys got them off pretty quickly!

if your looking for leaks i doubt its round there unless a windscreen had been fitted at some point and badly sealed. mine turned out to be blocked sun roof drain holes.
