You can try soaking the channel in goo gone, then try to slowly work it loose. The goo gone won't harm the paint (but wait a day or two to let it dry if you plan on using triple thick. The goo gone repels it a bit).

Another method is to hang it upside-down and let gravity do the work.

Another method is to use a block of wood and a mallet to slowly tap the channel off the glass.

Or, lastly, check with gatecrasher on the forums to see if he has a substitute channel that might fit if yours is all rusty.

Two pieces of friction tape if you need it.

The only minor thing about those lift channels is that the lip is bent down, and not straight out like with gottlieb lift channels. Either way, they sure would look a lot better than an ugly rusty one.

Quoted from vid1900:

If there was enough demand, I'm sure Gatecrasher could bend some straight.
But like you said, even with the bent lip, a new one is 10000x better than a rusty one on an otherwise restored machine.

Right now, I have 3 or 4 I wouldn't mind replacing.
