Kevin, the window has t come out. If its a 63, lucky U.  2 screws hold the bar in place. The rollers on the regulator ride in the bar, on the bottom of the window channel

2 screws on the back of the top chrome L shaped piece, hold it to the channel.

Kevin, is your window already out of the car? If not follow shop manual to remove glass. Then remove screws that hold the side & top trim to the lower channel assembly and gently pry the trim away from glass. When reinstalling I have used a lot of WD 40 to get the window back wedged into the seal and trim and lower channel.

JBailey,

Looking at picture below for front window trim with read arrows pointing to  left and right roof panel trim, and green arrows pointing to 5 pc reveal trim:

--> left, top and right reveal trim next to glass (green arrows) - removes with reveal removal tool. (windshield does not have to be removed)

--> bottom left and right reveal trim behind cowl  (bottom green arrows) - cowl has tom come off to access 5/16" screws that hold lower reveal brackets in place. (windshield does not have to be removed)

--> left and right front roof panel trim (red arrows) - WINDSHIELD AS TO COME UP TO ACCESS TRIM SCREWS).  The removal of this trim indicating removal of windshield is in the Shop manual (page 16-80 in 1963 manual; page 16-85 1964 manual),  

Once you remove the windshield and rubber seal you will then have access to a series of screws that holds the left and right front roof panel trim in place as seen below:
