Driver's door window won't stay in molding/channel due to rust

Hi,

My driver's door window (1999 Grand Prix GT, 4-door, 155,000 km) will not go all the way up. It seems that a lot of rust inside the door is causing the weather stripping/molding/channel (not sure what to call it) to buckle in (rust-coloured arrow in picture) so that the window rides up actually outside the weather stripping/molding/channel and and not inside where it is supposed to be (white arrow in picture).
My question is how easy is it to remove this molding so I can get the rust out, then hopefully replace the molding so the window will ride up correctly?
Sorry about the low-quality pic, it seems I can't post more than 132 kb files? EDIT: here is a link to a better quality pic:

BTW I have already replaced the regulator/motor in this door twice and all other doors once.

Thanks!
