The hard part is done. Just gently pull the glass out of the weatherstrip. Expect the weatherstrip to be somewhat brittle, its been in the elements a long time. Careful, though, no one makes replacements.

Hmmm, pretty sure I saw repro gaskets from Wilkinson at the fun Rally.

I am positive that Wilkinson has the all of the glass and gaskets for the windshield to all of the door glass to the rear backlight to the rear quarters -- I helped bring the stuff in from his trailer; so I am positive.
Now how the roll up glass fits in the doors is another matter -- I have no idea as I have heard that some cars door glass goes up and down better than others; probably the variation on the cars as we all know there is.

I just installed Wilkinson's door glass in my car. Fit perfectly.

1/4 window removal:
Take the ss trim off, then pull the rubber trim off the glass. There's no trick to it. I've done it on both my cars and rubbers were not brittle at all.
When putting it back on the car, I put lube on the rubber for easy future removal.

Same as 4NHOTROD writes. Just be very careful when you take of the SS. It need a bit (on my car) of muscle to get it of, so to not dent it, don't rush it!!
I had to replace my drivers side quarter window weatherstripping. Got mine from Wilkinsons, about a hundred bucks a side. I pulled the passenger side and powder coated the trim for both sides.
The trim was a little difficult to reinstall just have three hands and work slowly around to get the trim to finally POP back into the grooves of the weatherstripping, the old seal was easier then the new seal. The new seal was a real bear to get the trim back iinto place and was even harder to get back into the car.
I used some string to pop the flange around the cars sheetmetal.
The new seal, the string was just not cutting it and I couldnt get the very last part of the flange to seat. I was at a buddies house and he had a Craftsman cotter pin removal tool( just a awl with 90 degree hook on the the end) and it gave me enough leverage to get the flange to pop around the sheetmetal.
