Does the plastic trim around the 1/4 windows come off separate or is it part of the window?

Here you go! Looks like it is part of the window.

It's what is called an encapsulated window. The glass and frame are bonded together. Your have to replace the entire unit.

How hard is it to replace? is it just glued in?

a buddy of mine just redid his window frame area in stick on black carbon fiber look vinyl,looks pretty damn good.he did all the way from the front by the rear view mirror to around the entire window.covered up some used looking black trim pieces in the process.

It is a urathene set. The hardest part is cutting out the old one without damaging the car. After that it's glued in urethane, the same glue for windshields.
I've been doing auto glass for 29 years, this isn't a job for someone's first try.
With the tools and experience it's a15 minute job.

There are some things a pro should do, actually a lot of things.
