    Thank you Brother for this very helpful video. It gave me the knowledge & confidence to repair a single pane sliding window where the side frame (attached handle) bowed & came off from the glass. Had I not watched this video I wouldn't have the courage to unscrew the loose frame, straighten frame, reset the gasket, tap back the frame into position & screw it back at both ends. It was a great feeling after making it right. KZreadrs like you are helping a lot of people like me hoping to fix things ourselves. God bless!

    Wish mine was this easy. Took off the brackets so the window would slide all the way up but it still doesn't allow it to pull up and out. No exposed screws anywhere on the sill or the frame.

    Very helpful....thank you. my broken window slides vertically (the fixed upper pane needs replacing), is it essentially the same process? thanks

  • @roadglassandmore9064

    @roadglassandmore9064

    So, there are 2 types of the frames. If you see 2 screws on the outside holding horizontal piece of frame that holds fixed upper pane, then the process it the same as in this video, but you will have to remove the horizontal frame first ( remove to screws and poll the frame down). But if there are no visible screws in the outside then the fixed glass is glued to the frame, there are usually removable glass stops on the inside.

    Glazing gasket. Try that. Also measure the thickness of your glass, there are different gaskets for different thickness.

    Rubber gasket that wraps around the glass absorbs the impact a little , plus the impact from a hammer directed towards the frame.

    If you go buy glass yourself expect to pay roughly $ 5-7 a square foot, if you hire a company to do the job expect to pay $90-120 + labor charge and cost of glass ( usually 1.5-2 times the cost)

    I thought those old dual pane windows had moisture absorber between the panes. Without it, you might get condensation on cold days

    Old dual pane has moisture absorbing bead inside the spacer, but it can only do so much , once seal breaks there are a lot of moisture collects inside

    isn't this a dual pane window,,, you completely skipped the part where you replaced the single pane? or did you just buy a pre-made dual pane window already glued together?

    The window is dual pane , there is no way to replace single pane with dual pane glass! Different thickness! We just order new dual pane glass to the size needed and come back to replace it.
