My parents came to visit and Dad and I did some work on both of these problems: wing window and power windows.
As described in this thread from Bondobird, the wing window comes out as one unit after 4 bolts are removed. It takes some wiggling and rotating to get it past all of the window internals.
Replacing the regulator itself is an easy process. Two bolts removed and it falls out. There were two things that we did to make the window mate up better in the closed position. First, the cast stop in the regulator prevented the window from sealing perfectly. No worries, I used a little Dremel sanding wheel to remove about 1/4 of a MM of material and it sealed great. Second, there is a little cylindrical link with slots on each end that actually connect the regulator and the window link. The slots were worn a bit such that the window would wobble 1/16th of an inch in and out. We chopped up an aluminum beer can and made a small shim to take up the slack in the link and now it's solid. Replacing the cylindrical link with a new one or for the more industrious, making your own are options, but for me/us, my 65 will have an "open container" for the rest of its life...
