This is an excellent video, thanks for posting. I have the exact same situation on my PlyGem windows and have received six replacements to install. Want to DIY so this was great. Found answers to my questions in your responses below. Thanks.
Hi there. You are welcome. I'm glad you found the answers. I got mine with the new window panes. I have some extra. Its is 1/2" wide and 1/16" thick. Sticky on both sides and the 1/16" is basically a spongy layer. I hope that helps. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! Only difference is my pieces around the window to remove were on the outside and the putty knife seal to break was on the inside. I would have never figured this out without your video
Interesting. I’ve never seen it that way. But I’m glad it helped. I couldn’t find a decent video explaining it, so I thought it was good to do. Thanks again!!
This is a great video and a great alternative to replacing the entire window. My glass is cracked from a bird strike so it wouldn’t be covered under warranty. Do you know where I could order this window glass?
Hi. Thank you. I got them from the original manufacturer, Norandex Simmonton. They had a 20 year warranty and we put a claim in right before the 20 year mark. They sent us all new sashes and the coils and covers and all.
great video, very well taught. I was looking for something different. I recently had new windows installed and now want to add a window air conditioner. The single hung window have lower sash stops and I am not sure if they can be removed since the current opening is to short in height to have a standard A/C fit? Being that they are new windows, I don't want to just force the stops out and maybe break or damage it. I am sorry I don't have the name of the manufacturer. but they must be Canadian. Any thoughts you might have would be very helpful. Thank you and thanks for sharing.
When you removed the glass was it both pieces at the same time. Is the replacement a sealed double pane with the argon gas inside? Have some foggy windows bad seals . Is this the best route? Thanks , Jerry
Yes. Both panes came out at the same time. And yes the replacement was also a sealed double pane with the gas between. You have the same problem we had, fog in between the panes. Which means a seal is broken somewhere. I think this is the only way to fix that. Unfortunately.
I think it could be the same. But easier because that whole window should come out. I’d probably just get the whole new bottom window and remove it as if cleaning it.
Thanks for the video ! Can you tell me if the tape was butyl, and was the thickness 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch. Here in canada off of amazon it is around 40 dollars, does this seem right? Thanks again, well done!
The measurements should be on a sticker up in the window frame. My windows were Simonton, so I just called them and gave the measurements from the stickers.
I broke the bottom sash by accident, the one that tilts and can be removed easily. Can I replace just that sash or do I have to replace the top half (shown in this video) as well? Do manufacturers sell the bottom sash by itself?
My brand new Windows have one corner on all of the bottom sashes where the tilt latches don't snap back into the frame without an excessive amount of force. What can this mean and what is the fix?
It’s a single hung window. So the bottom sash moves up and down. The top is stationary. All it has is the pane of glass. This video shows how to replace that pane of glass.
Removing the bottom sash of a window is the easiest thing about windows. Open the window a bit, push in the two slats at the top of the sash, and fold the window in towards you. Than just lift out. Pretty simple. Thanks for watching.

This is a great video and a great alternative to replacing the entire window. My glass is cracked from a bird strike so it wouldn’t be covered under warranty. Do you know where I could order this window glass?
I ordered mine direct from Simonton. Should be a sticker in your window frame with maker?
Great video. Very informative ! Awesome 🤩
Where did you get the replacement sashes?
Hi. Thank you. I got them from the original manufacturer, Norandex Simmonton. They had a 20 year warranty and we put a claim in right before the 20 year mark. They sent us all new sashes and the coils and covers and all.
Where can I get the upper sash for my window? Your response is greatly appreciated.

Send a pic of the stops. They usually pop out pretty easily.
Much thanks!

hi thanks for your video it help me very much , one question where did you find the new springs and covers ??? thanks for you help ,
Thank you.
I got them from the manufacturer of my windows. When I ordered the new sash’s, I ordered new coils and covers as well.

I think this is the only way to fix that. Unfortunately.
From your experience, would replacing the glass in the bottom sash be the same or do you have to buy a whole new sash?
I think it could be the same. But easier because that whole window should come out. I’d probably just get the whole new bottom window and remove it as if cleaning it.
Thanks for the video !
Can you tell me if the tape was butyl, and was the thickness 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch.

You’re welcome. Hope it helped.
It’s polyethylene, and it 1/16. On Amazon here it’s about $20 usd for 150 feet
JVCC DC-WGT-01 Double Coated Window Glazing Tape: 1/16 in. Thick x 3/8 in. x 50 yds. (White)
Thanks for fast response !!!!
Thanks again ,Just ordered the tape my window seems to take 1/2 inch, it was around 50 or 60 cdn dollars, still better then hiring a contractor !!
Do you have a video to tell how to measure replacement window glass,and where do you order the glass
The measurements should be on a sticker up in the window frame. My windows were Simonton, so I just called them and gave the measurements from the stickers.
I got mine from Simonton Windows.
You could try that. Or your brand if you know it
Do you know brand of double sided tape and where to buy? What size tape?
It came from Simonton windows when they sent the new sash’s.
It was about 1/4” thick.
I broke the bottom sash by accident, the one that tilts and can be removed easily. Can I replace just that sash or do I have to replace the top half (shown in this video) as well? Do manufacturers sell the bottom sash by itself?
Yes. For sure they would sell the bottom sash.
How did you get the replacement sash? My son decided to drive a golf ball through it.
Hahaha. I went through the window company. Called Simonton Windows.
I’d call the maker of your current windows.
What did you have to provide to Simonton as far as information to get the correct sash?
There should be a sticker around the edge of the window frame that has an order number and part number.
@@srakfleming5888 thank you! I found that. Just wanted to make sure! Appreciate it!
@@tp081234 awesome. Good luck.
What is the new foam tape called?
It's called Glazing Tape. It came with the new sashes in my case.
What is the tape you used on the interior? Is there a link to it?
I don’t have a link. I’m sorry. The window company sent with the window. But it’s basically just a double sided foam tape.
where did you buy the replacement top glass from?? Company name please?
Simonton
Where did the parts come frome, Window glass and latches[springs
Got them from Simonton. That’s what the original windows were.
How much can I expect to pay for the window if I do this myself?
It really depends on the quality of window. 250 - 1000
@@srakfleming5888 Thanks
Where did you get the sash from?
From the window manufacturer. Simonton.
The sticker on the window frame should have manufacturer and sizes.
Looks like Webster homes
S&A 😂
What company did you buy sashes from?
Simonton
My brand new Windows have one corner on all of the bottom sashes where the tilt latches don't snap back into the frame without an excessive amount of force. What can this mean and what is the fix?
I would contact whomever installed them. Sounds like they aren’t square. Or perhaps to tight in the frame.
Would be helpful to see actually putting in the stops
Agreed. I’ll try and add that. I do have some stops to do in other windows.
Ah I see, I bought my house in foreclosure, no labels on the window, any other way to identify it, I am sure they are contractor grade.
Not that I know of. I’m sorry!!!
You did not show how to take the windows sash out
It’s a single hung window. So the bottom sash moves up and down.
The top is stationary. All it has is the pane of glass. This video shows how to replace that pane of glass.
If it have been helpful if you had shown how you removed the bottom sash.
The bottom sash moves up and down. You just tilt it in and then lift one side up and it comes right out.
But this video shows replacing the upper glass, not the entire sash (glass with frame).
Yea. That’s true. 👍🏻. Taking the whole sash out should be much easier I would think.
How remove bottom? You skipped
The bottom pane moves up and down. You just tilt it in and lift one side up and it comes out.
Christ! A lot of theatrics for something so simple!
I’m glad you are very good at it! I wish you had a video of it when I needed one.
Appreciate the knowledge passing. However we don't really need to hear you talk for 15 minutes. Still appreciate it
Mute it. 🤷🏻♂️.
The whole thing was enormously helpful, particularly the detailed narration.
suggestion. please dont keep saying what were gonna do is go ahead and .........just do it
Understood. I appreciate the feedback.
You talked about removing the bottom sash but you didn't explain or show how to do this. What a waste of my time!
Removing the bottom sash of a window is the easiest thing about windows. Open the window a bit, push in the two slats at the top of the sash, and fold the window in towards you. Than just lift out. Pretty simple.
Thanks for watching.
Great video!
