Hello there,


  I am actually planning to do the same job this
Saturday.  IIRC from my last parts car, they way to
get those out is to roll the quarterglass down all the
way, then gently pull the weatherstrip down from the
top of the aperture.  This will reveal two rivets.  
 I can't remember if you have to disconnect the window
from the regulator or not but I think at this point
you are close to getting the separator out at a
diagonal.  I will let you know this weekend, if you
haven't already done it.


    HTH,
