It'll probably be easier to mask off the area around the window, and paint it with black "bumper coater" spray paint. This gives a nice satin black finish and you can also restore the other faded moldings with it.

I use 3M blue masking tape, it's great stuff, no residue.

That said, no, I have never removed a sedan rear window. The trim seems integral with the rubber, so short of removing a late model rear window, the repaint is probably a good option. Scuff it with fine steel wool first for better adhesion.
