If you brought this into our shop: I would grab the 3 inch brick breaker we
have ground down so it has a 1/8 flat at the wedge. Lay the assembly on
the carpeted cutting table take a hammer and knock the sash channel off of
the glass. The easiest way would be to take it to a glass shop in your area
that is familiar with doing this but these days glass shops just want to
slap w/shields in newer cars. If your putting in a new glass and want to do it
yourself brake the glass and pry out the remainder and be sure to mount
the channel in the same position as it was on the original glass. The
original was mounted in the sash channel with glass setting tape, you could
possibly reuse the original tape but after 38-40 years it may be beyond reuse
and
prying it out of the sash channel will possibly destroy it. So after all
this and your in your garage and doing this take the sash channel clean it
and remove all the rust in it that you can. Paint it to retard the rust that
will come, use 1/4 to 1/2 U shaped strips of the original packing tape
cleaned up with no broken glass in it. Place strips at the ends of the sash
and one or two in the middle. This centers the channel on the glass. Shoot a
good dollop of RTV silicone sealent in between the strips and assemble on
the new glass. Let it cure and install. I haven't piped up on this as it has
been years since I have had one of these to install. And you know that
they say about memory it's the 5th or 7 th to go, I can't remember which.
Also take out the regulator and lube up all the pivots and the clutch assembly
inside the crank where the handle attaches, we use motorcycle chain lube
here flood it and let it drain in a trash can. HTH'S

If it is still holding, I'd leave it alone. No reason to change anything.
Just give it a good clean and lube it.
