Just FYI, if that's the OEM silver trim, that's a silver sticker on a piece of plastic. I had that on my 85 when I got it. removing it completely destroyed it as the sticker comes unstuck from the plastic and wrinkles and cracks. I replaced all the seals with the version without the channel (as the seals were stiff and cracked). Cleaner look without the black. But if I were to try to save those seals, I would inch my way around moving it out towards the window opening a little at a time.. You can see where the split between the top + sides and the bottom scraper are. So might make sense to do the bottom first and get that all the way out and then do the top so you have more room to move it down before out. I'll be very surprised if the chrome makes it.
Here's a the video from GW showing step by step of the tear down. and my bad. aparently it isn't the silver sticker over plastic. That must have been the slider window. Anyway, hope the video helps.
