This pinching part is completely rusted and has broken in half, so no more clamping.  It could be unbolted from the regulator and then separated from the glass.  Again, there are regulators in the garage, but not this piece!

I put bolt-in glass into my old glue-in frames and it has worked fine for nearly 20 years 
now, originally on my old '81 pickup and later moved to the current '82 pickup.
