If you're careful and gentle you can use a thin flat head screwdriver, I recommend practicing on a few in pull a part, although gm made a specialty tool to earn the $$$.
You start on the sides, pressing away from the painted surface and then can release the plastic clips and have it pop off.
To be honest, if the water is leaking and you like the car long term I would remove the trim, then remove and reseal the windshield.
Once the glass is out you can see whether you are just suffering from dried/shrunken urethane, or, rust. A car rust free on the outside and paint can easily have rust on the windshield flanges you cannot see from trapped water over the years

I'd go to an auto glass shop or an older body shop . They more than likely have the special tool . I've had mine for about 40 years . Eastwood, Auto body Supply, (on the net) Snap-on, Mac are all sources if you want to buy one.
