Glass Pane Replacement in Aluminum Window

I walk through the replacement of a pane of glass held in an aluminum frame window, from removal all the way to the end of the fix. I couldn't find but a couple of videos on this particular project so I thought I'd add my own!

Please go give his things a watch as well - always good to have multiple perspectives!

A few things I've learned. 1. You can use siliconized acrylic latex caulk instead of silicone which is much more forgiving....easier to clean. 2. You can use an 8" long piece of tape folded onto itself from the middle for a few inches with the remaining two flaps adhered to the pane of glass to help manage the placement of the pane. 3. A heat gun or hair dryer can warm the vinyl glazing strips to make them more pliable in case of advanced age or cold weather which increases the "brittleness" and chance for cracking. Glazing strips are available in a few dimensions and a few basic basic colors online.

I'll tell ya.. these window repair people charge a ton and they keep their practices very secret and under wraps. I think a lot more people could do this for themselves easily. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

I really like your video. I’m able to actually see the job being done. So many videos out there where they fast forward too much and then show you the end product. For DIY guy we need to see the whole job. Thanks for explaining things as you go. Your 20 minute video is way better than a 3 minute one that I just saw. Appreciate it. Thanks!

Just what I needed ! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Ok bud here’s the deal for future reference and please share. Pry the tinfoil glass stops up from glass not from metal frame this will make it reusable install is the reverse slide metal lip into metal frame and push down on glass side that will lock it in place it seems counter intuitive but trust me I have done this kind of repair many many times I have been a glazier my entire adult life and and some as a teen. If you have any questions regarding ANY glass work feel free to reach out to me thanks and good job

The only YT video that shows the simple replacement of PANE into an aluminum frame. I'm executing this activity just with a bigger pane. Lol. Wish me luck.

Just wanted to say thank you so much! I didn’t have anyone to help me repair my window so I had to look up some tutorials. Your video was the closest one to mine and I was able to do it myself. 🖤

The video was helpful and I like this guy. Bet he would make a great neighbor.

🙏 Thank you for this video, you probably saved 100's if not 1000's of dollars in Window replacements.

Thank you for this! 😂 Finding someone to replace "just the glass" in this type of windows is impossible. They definitely don't mind charging you $100 to come out to tell you they have to replace the whole window after you already described them and sent pictures tho!

Very helpful video. I need to replace a broken window pane and can now do this myself. Thanks for the instructions, errors and all!

Thanks for the help! I have one of these older window styles and I had no idea where to start.

[specialeducationteacher]

Thank you do much for the words of encouragement! I am going to try to replace my window pane myself thanks to your words of encouragement!

This was super helpful. I'm finally getting okay with the thought process of trying something and accepting that I may mess it up. Always surprised at how well things usually turn out!

Nice job dude and I hope my repair goes just as easy as yours did. I need to replace a large pane and a small one on a house that was built in the late 70's with all aluminum frame windows.
