removing rear window trim

I'm stripping everything off my car right now for paint. Everything has gone relatively smoothly so far except I cannot get the trim off around the rear window. I've removed every visable screw but I think the entire rear window has to come out in order to get the trim off. Anyone know how this comes off?

Yes remove the window from the door and that will come off fairly easy.

the outer trim is the hard part.. doesn't come off too easily without messing it up...

the window itself isn't bad though. pull that center bar out, and the back triangle window comes out with all of the rubber trim around it.

Blaxima...

It's getting paint black. 99 black, which is basically straight up 100% black. I used to own a black maxima but I hit a car and smashed the entire front end in. Looks really good with full tint
