Could someone give me instruction on how the door glass channel is removed from the window regulator roller please? If it matters, my '56 no longer has the vent windows. I'm sorry if I've looked over a previous post relating to this. The only YouTube video I have found had a coat hanger tied in there instead of a roller holding the regulator arm to the window channel.
If I am recalling correctly...
Simply press in the window regulator roller arm, and pull the roller retaining pin. With your hand under the roller to catch all the parts from the rollers that will be falling, gently release the pressure you applied to the arm. The roller arm will then be detached. Now you just pull it away, and crank up the arm. Assuming you have no division bar, you should be able to pull out the window. When it comes time to put the rollers back together, put them together as a unit again with the little spring retainer pin installed. Slide the roller into the channel below the window, then simply press the regulator arm into the roller. When you hear and feel a "click" the window roller and regulator arm is now connected and retained again.
EDIT:
About pulling on the retainer pin holding the roller together to release the window regulator arm
You do not have to pull that pin all the way out. Try pulling it just enough to release the regulator arm from it. But for me, that had only worked once. I usually end up pulling it all the way out and catching the roller parts or reaching around for them inside the door.
