How hard and what is the process to replace the quarter glass seals?

Do you have to remove the chrome channel, slide or glue in?

Thanks

I'm thinking I should just transfer the chrome channel with weatherstripping to the new glass.
How would I go about removing and reinstall the channel?
Any tips or how to's?

Thanks

Are you asking about the quarter window seal that goes on the front of the quarter window and seals against the door window when the door is closed ??? Pic's would help

Yes, how do I transfer this quarter glass HW to another piece of glass?

Those stainless trim strips are retained to the glass with a product known as "glass setting tape". A rubber product that swells when saturated with oil to grip the glass tightly. You can work it off by gently rocking it back and forth, or using a wooden paint stick pry gently as well. A rubber mallet will help here too. You shouldn't have to remove this stainless just to replace the weatherstripping however.

Remove the seal, Stand the window up in a pan deep enough to submerge the end of it in something like acetone. After a bit you can start trying to slip a thin piece of steel (think bondo spreader) between the glass and trim piece on both sides. Soak some more. it will eventually cut loose.
Someone else may have a better method but this has worked for us
