Are you talking about the quarter windows? If so, you can't, they're all one piece.

You can skim coat them with a light weight body filler, sand them and then paint them. If you just paint them, the paint soaks into the rubber and they still look kinda weathered and pitted.

I'd check with some of the detailers that hang around on this site, They probably have some good ideas on products that can revive the rubber.
