Front windshield molding carefully removed and to a great surprise extremely clean underneath.
You can see after the rear window trim was removed there was a ton of dirt and debris under the chrome. this would explain the dirt in the paint job.
Even though the chrome trim was painted over and the rubber seals were destroyed surprisingly the window channel was in great shape.
