I just did this on my GF's 86 GLI, and IIRC it was a pain. The "channel" he 
was referring to is the metal piece that bolts to the regulator. The window 
rests in this "channel" and as he noted there is a rubber piece in there.

I used some liquid detergent on the rubber while it was wrapped around the 
glass. It helped to have the metal piece clean, and then a steady strong 
force made it slide in without too much trouble. I started it at an angle, 
and then once it got started, it was easier.

I'm curious as to how it came out in the first place, it is in there _very_ 
tightly.
