Ponch, did you do any of these window glass replacements yourself?
I ask because it looks like I will be having to get this done soon.

After looking at my dual-pane windows, I'm not sure they can be pushed "out" from the inside.
It looks possible, but I am not certain, that once the rubber moulding is pulled off the outside, they could be pushed "in" though....

Anybody else have insights on this?

Rick

The moldings do not have to come off.

Yes you can push the windows thru from the inside.

Alrighty then,....
I guess the trick is getting the old glue off the frame in order to leave a nice clean bed for the new glue / glass.

Probably an hour per.

Thanks,

Rick

Windows

We just replaced 3 of our big fixed windows (the big rear, one rear side and the one behind the recliners) and 3 of the operating ourselves. All due to fogging from lost seals.

All of the window frames and interior trim were left in place, removing only the glass from the frames. What an easy job. It is a two person process in that once the rubber seals are removed, one person needs to be inside to press against the glass while the other is outside to catch it as the sealant grip is broken. Then both lift the glass unit out on the larger ones.

Once the old glass is removed from the frame, cleaning of the old sealant is a pain but not that difficult. Take care not to loose any of the spacer shims on the sides or top. New bottom shims should be installed as the old ones may have collapsed from the weight of the glass sitting on them.

I would suggest that a trial fit of the replacement glass should be made in order to check the top clearance. One of ours had a little excessive clearance and we had to re-shim the bottom to make the top fit properly.

Donna with Hehr has been great. She has provided written instructions and has followed up on making sure everything worked. She works 4 days, Mon-Thurs, 6:30-2:00.
