And where I can find one?
It's the trim that goes above the windows.

For something like that, you might want to try The Fiero Factory: www.thefierofactory.com
I don't know how one removes/attaches them, but if they're like mine (1988 Value Leader), they're metal and possibly fixable. Moreover, simply bending them back into shape (it looks dented) should allow it to perform it's function.

Awesome, thanks guys. Yeah it's been bent back and looks kind of okay now, but when I get the car painted it's going to stick out like a sore thumb still.
Hoping to find a replacement in very good condition for the driver side.

You can remove the drip rails with a slot screwdriver and hammer- Just be careful; Slip the screwdriver into the rain slot and firmly bottom it against the inside of the rail, then apply the hammer (To the screwdriver- not your head!) Tap while moving the screwdriver along the grove to work the rail loose from one end to the other.
I just checked on "Row 52" and there is a GT in the Dallas P&P but it's been there since May 27.....I have a spare set but am in CA.....Shipping is $$$$ because they are big and delicate- and won't fit in a shipping tube. Fiero Factory (Alabama) has some I'm sure- and they should be supported!

The best thing to use is a wide-bladed putty knife like the ones contractors use to putty drywall / sheet-rock. One 4 or 6-inches wide works best. Some folks use flat-blade screw drivers but I've found that those don't spread the force from tapping like a wide-bladed putty-knife and can deform the drip rail.
Start from the base of the A-pillar and work up and around the drip rail tapping gently to free the drip rail from the body. You can use a hammer or your hand depending on how tight the piece is attached. You can figure that out as you get started. When you get to the end over the window wiggle the drip rail back and forth & up and down to free it from the clip. Be careful not to flex too much because the rail is soft aluminium. It will kink and deform if you aren't careful.
