I would just take the door panel off, then carefuly drill out the rivets.. then when you want to put it back on, rivet it back up. (Or just get a new set.. I don thtink tey are that expensive)

Mark, since the post, I've gotten that far. My concern now is how to get the Clips out of the holes without ruining the clips or the fiberglass and the window is in the way of about half of the strip. Any ideas?

Re: Removing outside window scrapers (BCinPhx)
I recently replaced my outer window seals. To get the old seals out I had to loosen the bolts at the top edge of the door. These allow the window to be pulled away from the door enough to r and r the seals. You may want to scribe the edge of the door around the bolt heads to make it easier to get the window adjusted back properly before you loosen them.
Once you have the door panels off you'll see what I mean.
