Rubber
Yep, you need to pull the rubber out and there are screws underneath. This guide covers it:

Youre Right
No actually scarecrows right. it is the wrong one. I had another look. Thought it was in the removing the roof lining one, but I dont seem to have covered it there either. I think I originally had it in that one and found that I didnt actually need to remove it to get the lining out. Heres how to do it:
There is a bit of rubber that the window closes on when you shut the door. You need to pull this out. It is sitting in a groove - if you grab the rubber in the middle at the top and pull, it will pull out of the groove (you dont need much force to do this). Underneath, there are about 10 screws that hold in the the trim that sits between the rubber and the roof. You can get the rubber back in by sitting it in the groove and twisting it into place.
As to the bit around the triangular window, im not sure how to get that out, but I know that to remove the window, it needs to be cut out (in the same way that the front screen is replaced), so if you can do it, it doesnt involve removing the triangular window.
Hope this helps and sorry for the misdirection on the url.

ta man...no problem..I have had the rubber out before so I'm down with taking that out and putting it back...however I realised after my post there must be screws in there. I'm not stressed now I just have to work out if I can have it chromed...it would look wicked against the back paint...just like the new Hondas or BMWs...
The triangle one looks to be the issue...I will have a look and see what I discover..
