How to get rid of full line tableView separator?

I am trying to make only the first and second sections have section titles and make them not float. I added this to cell for row at index path:

cell.backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:cell.bounds];

and made the tablestyle grouped to prevent the titles from floating. I also made the section footer and header height for other sections (one's where I don't want the titles) CGFLOAT_MIN and am returning a view of nil for each. How can I get rid of the annoying line below?

The problem

Rather than trying to use a grouped table view in an unintended why, it's much easier to use a regular table view and disable section header floating. You can do so in one of two ways:

CGFloat height = 40.f;
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.tableView.bounds), height)];
UIView *dummyView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = dummyView;
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-dummyViewHeight, 0, 0, 0);

Section headers will now scroll just like any regular cell.

Alternately, UITableView has two private methods that allow header floating to be enabled/disabled:

- (BOOL) allowsHeaderViewsToFloat;
- (BOOL) allowsFooterViewsToFloat;

If you are not concerned with using private APIs, just create a UITableView subclass and return NO for both of these methods.
