One of my window channels is really rotted, so I need to remove the glass to replace the channel, with a better one.
What is the best way to remove the glass.

Since the channel is already rusted, a slight pull apart might get the job done.
I remember it being fairly easy to pull mine apart when I was putting the new weatherstripping in. My passenger side had already come completely loose. I just had to pull apart the driver's side. The harder one was getting the vent glass out of the channel, but with some coaxing, they came out.

I had a glass shop reinstall because I didn't have the setting tape and didn't want to break a piece while learning to put it back together

Here's a Brother's video on how to install all the glass in the door. Removal is just the opposite order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYA9pLr-ZlY&t=142s
