I found it works best to remove the inside pads - there are just a couple of bolts holding them. That gives you enough room to pull the glass away from the outer pads. I used an old toothbrush (yes, you could use a new one, or even the one you are using every morning - it doesn't matter) and canned air.

There are also two window pads that rub against the outside of the glass that tend to collect debris and scratch the glass. While you have the door panel off repairing the travel limiters, lightly pull the glass towards the inside of the car and clean the pads. Personally I like using a steel pick and a blow gun, but many have found other methods.
