This video is the best. I watched several other ones that were just ads for companies or just not not clear. What if I have a small window that's extremely hard to access due to the pitch of the roof? Is there a way to do this from only the inside? The window is 1/8TH the size of the one in your video but it faces the street and my HOA is on my ass.It's filled with discolorations. Thanks for posting this excellent tutorial.

[@roadglassandmore]

Unfortunately you will need access to inside and out side of the window, as the glass typically comes out of the frame on outside.

Thank you for your excellent tutorial ! My 74”x55” window was installed only 4 years ago, I just noticed that mold is growing between the panels of the picture frame side 70”x55. I thought that I would have to replace the entire window. The window is located on the third floor of my house. Hopefully, by just replacing just the dual panel window glass and not the entire window , I will not have to worry about higher cost of installation and more importantly leakage and dry rot due to poor installation.

[@lisal1093]

Thanks for the very clear instructions. This morning outside pane of my window broke millions of pieces with no any reason (I guess the glass is imperfect as this is a new house closing 15 months ago). May I ask if I can live with the single inside pane for a while before replacing or I have to call an emergency for a repair? Thank you in advance.

[@roadglassandmore]

Yes, you can absolutely live with one pane of glass, the only thing you might eventually see is the metal spacer between 2 panes start to rust after rainy season ( not all but some manufacturers use metal) , but that is also not a big concern. I’m assuming the glass was tempered ( heat treated) next to a door or in the bathroom? I see tempered glass break sometimes mostly in a summer time , because of different temperatures inside being cool and outside hot.

[@lisal1093]

Thank you very much for the help. Yes, the glass is tempered ideally for Florida summer heat. There was a guy offering $450 for all. I saw online dual tempered glass for this size $225. After seeing your video I would like to give it a try myself. With the heat wave, I hope the single pane last enough certain of time.

[@geelleguure8808]

Double sided tape or clear silicon. That what I was looking for. Thank sir for your expertise.

[@roadglassandmore]

Your welcome, glad I was able to help.

[@wjiausa]

Nice and clear instruction! Thank you so much! Wondering what kind of double-sided tape are you using? What's the width and thickness?

[@roadglassandmore]

Thanks! It’s glazing tape, 1/16 thick. I will put a link in description when I get on my computer tonight.

[@mrchadlab]

Very informative. I shall attempt this. I do have one question. Why not pull the tape from the start and just push in on?

[@roadglassandmore]

Tape is very sticky, so there is no room for error, once the glass touches the tape that’s where it will stay and you won’t be able to adjust it. You can actually peel and spray the tape with glass cleaner , but I don’t like that method , takes a while take to dry.

[@mondobeyondo]

Great tutorial . Are instructions the same for removing aluminum frame ? I need to bring the fixed aluminum frame to glass shop to replace glass.

[@roadglassandmore]

If it’s a slider then no, the glass is set differently, I have a video on my channel. Some aluminum fixed side only windows are set the same way, look for plastic snap bead on the outside. Hope this helps!

I think that you did a really good job at explaining this job. I had 1 problem that I need help with. My bottom glazing bead snapped into place, the top kinda snapped in, but the 2 sides didn't snap into place and you can remove them easily. How do I fix this

[@roadglassandmore]

Well if the bead is not broken it should have snapped in all the way, sometimes you need to use a little more force or try to tap it in with piece of wood or rubber mallet. If have broken few pieces of glazing bead in past so they would not snap in at all, so I just used double sided tape to kinda glue it in place to the glass. I

[@PCPAyLOAD]

Hay thanks for the video! I have mold in between the panes of glass. Is there any way to clean that out without replacing the window?

Excellent video. Thanks. If I want to have the glass replaced on a 6’x6’ dual pane picture window (Milgard) and the house (on a hill) has settled a little so when I remove the frame molding, I can see the frame top has shifted a little to the left. Basically I see gaps between the glass and frame on certain edges of the but other edges the glass is right against the frame. It’s like the frame shifted a 1/2” to the left at the top. If ordering a new glass unit should I just go with the exact same size or will it possibly not fit? I don’t want to have the glass removed and then it can’t fit back in. Thanks.

[@roadglassandmore]

Take the measurements in 3 spots left side , middle and right side, and go with the smallest measurement ( remove glazing/snap bead this way you can see exactly where you are measuring to and where the existing glass seats )

[@wstt4]

@@roadglassandmore thank you. When you say measure in three spots do you mean measure the existing glass in the 3 spots or measure the window framing it goes in, in 3 spots?

I’m not familiar with hurricane glass. Vut if it’s dual pane and only one pane is broken the whole thing needs to be replaced, glass comes sealed as a unit .

[@peggyvansleen4150]

Would you check my thoughts on my odd repair? Have you seen a sash where the trim is blocked by the other sash? I have the glass ready (it was under warranty) and ordered the tape. But the top trim of the bottom sash (that moves up and down but doesn't tilt... It's impact glass) is blocked by the upper stationary sash. I have to replace both anyway, so I'm planning to take top glass out, then carefully slide lower sash up to get the trim and glass out. Replace lower glass, slide up and down to get trim in and then replace the upper stationary window. Does that sound like a decent plan?

[@roadglassandmore]

Your have a perfect plan , especially if you are replacing the top part too! Also in most cases you should be able to remove the sash. Look up window spring balances removal online.

[@mrzif0013]

Great job> my double pane window is leaking and moisture forming in between the panes. Would you suggest replace the panes w/ new or is there a way to get the perfectly fine original glass to stop the moisture forming?

Just replace the glass, there is really no other way to get rid of moisture or stop it from forming unfortunately.

Thanks! I have 1993 Andersen windows in the house. The glass broke and can’t find anyone that will come out to replace. The WNY company that came out and fixed windows (gas leaked out, cloudy) no longer makes house calls, I have to bring the windows to them. Nice video, thanks again.

[@roadglassandmore]

I don’t have much experience with Andersen windows, I’ve only replaced few . But they are very difficult to work on, and some are not even designed for the glass to be replaced. If it’s a part that opens than you should be able to take it out and bring it to the glass shop.

This was a wonderful video thanks for making it! I have a similar vinyl window where 1 side of the 2 panes in it has failed and there's condensation. Are all of these double paned windows the same thickness? Should I remove all of the outside glazing strips to make an accurate measurement of the size of the pane before ordering a replacement?

[@roadglassandmore]

The most common thickness is 3/4 , but it’s good idea to remove glazing strips and get accurate measurements!

This is the hardest part. Lots of places want to replace for you instead of just selling the pane. I had dual pain glass that needed to be replaced... It had a leak in the gas insulation left and allowed moisture in. In Denver, The company that put the windows in originally in my home is called prime windows. If you have a warranty issue, most manufacturers will warranty pains for 10 years or more

I have a few double pane windows that actually have visible blotches / stains spots between the double panes, your video shows a great description on how to replace the glass, is it possible to separate and clean the glass between the panes?

[@roadglassandmore]

It’s is possible , but extremely difficult, and time consuming and chances of braking a pane very high! And of course you have make sure the lanes are sealed properly after taking them apart. And if the glass has low e coating ( newer windows have that!) it probably got damaged by the moisture and there is no way to clean or restore it!

[@Busyricky]

My outside glass needs to be replaced, but the inside glass is not broken. Do I have to replace both??

[@roadglassandmore]

both panes of glass vacuum sealed together as a unit when made at the factory. So I’d suggest ordering new dual pane unit! You can buy and get a quote online , check out website in link in description under the video.

Is it possible to remove and re-install the center support in the type of slider you show in this video? I need to bring a large amount of 4x8 drywall though a window well with this sort of window. It is mounted in the concrete foundation and would be difficult/impossible for me to take the entire 5' wide window out. Thanks for making these videos. They are very helpful.

[@roadglassandmore]

If it’s aluminum frame door,,then yes, you can take slider and fixed side completely out . Look for the screws holding the fixed side attached to the main frame,sometimes there is a clamp on the inside right in the middle.

[@ShubertUK]

Great job. Clear & concise explanation. Thanks a lot. I can see condensation on our window double glazed glass. Is there a quick fix? Any advice is much appreciated.

[@roadglassandmore]

Unfortunately there is no quick fix!, the glass need to be replaced! Although I have seen some companies so called “clean the inside of the double pane”, they drill 2 holes in glass, fill it with strong detergent, drain it and plug the holes with plastic caps. This only works temporary, until the next rain!

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if its possible to replace the double pane glass for a single glass? So I don't have the same problem later

Where the heck do you buy replacement double paned glass though? I figured Home Depot and Lowes would have some standard sizes, but I just can't find anything on their websites; all I find seem to be full windows with the frame and all...

There is no standard size for vinyl/plastic windows. The best is to go to a local glass shop/ supplier.
