Sure. My experience is with a pre-facelift so it may differ slightly but here it goes
Remove door card but keep a window control plugged in
Window down
Under the smaller glass there are 2 screws that hold a metal plate against the glass, remove the plate
Drop the glass down gently
Lift the rubber/felt that runs along the most rearward edge out of the channel
There is a screw on the top of the door that holds the top of the divider
There is a screw inside the door that holds the bottom of the divider
The top of the divider goes through the rubber felt seal which may need to be pulled down slightly
You may need to wiggle the divider and glass a bit but you should be able to lift the glass out from the gap
Now remove the divider
Hopefully I didn't miss a step

I'm guessing your talking about the 4 strips that go around the window.
Now if you mean rust behind the strip itself you can take them off, deal with it and refit. To do this though you are best stripping the door down to the point I described to gain access to the strips without interferance. You might be able to pop them off without removing everything but you'd risk scratching paint prying them off.
If you mean the strip itself is rusting, pre facelift they are rubber/plastic on a metal backing. There is no way to peel the rubber off and put it back on again, you could however remove the rubber completely and paint black. I recently Raptor lined all of those parts plus others and they look great. I didn't remove the rubber on mine and painted over the lot but the end result is nice.
All of my experience is pre facelift though so it may be different on yours.
