Removing window for cleaning

Well... this may seem stupid but I am unable to remove the sliding windows from the frame for cleaning.

I mean, I need to clean the bottom tracks. They are full of black messy stuff. I tried to push them upward then pull the bottom, but definitely there's not enough room on the top to pop them out without bending/breaking them.

Is there are known technique ?

The sliding windows DO NOT come out of the track. It is a safety feature for a moving vehicle, so the windows can't jar out unexpectedly.

I use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

don''t think they are designed to remove glass panes. can't you just slide them to extreme ends to clean track?
