You're a lifesaver, by far the best video I've found on this. I have an antique door that needed glass replaced, and none of the local glass places wanted to touch it, so diy it is! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.

Exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks for taking the time to put this info out there.

Thanks you!! I have looked for a tutorial for glass lights with wood molding for months. All I could find was with glazing. Very helpful.

I just had to do a similar job on a door with a stained glass window. The stained glass had a couple of broken panes that needed to be replaced. Removing the trim with the glass in place is difficult. You have good info here and on your channel.

I appreciate this very clear video. I have exactly the same door, and while none of the panes are broken they are quite old and scratched up, with paint in the corners, etc. What do you think of the idea of completely removing all the muntins / individual little panes, and putting in one large sheet of glass into the opening? Assuming I find suitable moulding (all new of course) I would expect the process is to be quite similar as you describe, no? thanks

Wow I needed exactly that. Do you think it is possible to remove the mouldings without taking out the glass? I need to take out some of the original glass pannels.

J'ai beaucoup apprécier votre méthode de travail

Hi, aren't you supposed to put a bead of glass putty/ silicone around the edge before putting the new glass on? to make it shatterproof? Thanks

[JonnyCoxon]

Do you have advice for putting the moulding together prior to putting it back into position?

[cloverandluna]

Hi! it looked like you took each piece of the frame off separately, but then when you reinstalled it, the frame was put back together in a square. Do you need to do that before putting it back in? Thank you!

I have one window in the center of my french door that has broken, what did you use to strip off all the paint in order to get the mouldings off.

Thank you ! I have a different problem : i want to remove a dirty glass panel by a wood one so my door which has 3 panels, 2 in wood and one in glass at the top for the bathroom..it's ugly and peopel coming in the entrance don't have to see th ebathroom door ..and i don't want to change all the doors as they're all similar except for that one and that design could be really pretty except for that glass panel ..i don't know if i shoudl try to glue some wood panel but the glass is not a regular surface so the end result mightbe poor or break it and replace by a thin wood panel but i don't know how to do ..any idea how to do this: it would help tremendously :-)
