Welcome to CHR! I've not messed with a Chevy of that vintage, but the only door glass I did long ago just had a strip of flat rubber, almost like a tire inner tube with the width equal to the inside measure of the channel. Seems to me that to get the frame off I used a piece of 2x4 against the glass and rapped it with a hammer. The channel was narrower at the open side, making a tight friction fit pinching the rubber to the glass.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

After 2 hours I finally removed the frame from the old glass..rust, and a ton of silicone were the culprits...used a torch, and a soldering gun to get it off. Youtube does not cover installing the glass into the frame. thanks for the reply

Factory manual says to squirt gasoline on the rubber in the channel to soften it up to remove. Use light weight oil to re-install.
