Bad news: If you want the clips out, the glass has to go first. The clips are held in place with a screw which can only be reached with the glass out.

I have seen cars which were painted with the glass still in, the trim will cover it later. But it'd be better to remove the windshield and rear window as you'll most likely find rust under the weatherstrip which should be dealt with.

I don't think your window clips are held in with screws.  They should be little "studs" that look like.......

all you have to do is push them on with the stud in the slot of the clip. (I used a paint stick with a slot cut in the center of the end to push on the bottom lip of the clip and straddle the stud , that way they seated all the way down nicely.)
