Front window repair complete

Posted 06-15-2012 at 06:33 AM by motrbungalow

Armed with weather stripping, butyl tape, glazing, and new window cranks from VTS we set about replacing the front window. The previous owner had installed plexiglass which he seated in the frame with silicone caulk. We removed the plexiglass and scrubbed away the silicone. The new window looks fantastic. So clear you can see through it ;-)

It all started with a broken window crank. We ordered a replacement from VTS. Then noticed that weather stripping was rock hard. Then noticed that the window was plexiglass sealed with silicone. Decided that if I'm taking the crank off, I should fix all this other stuff while I'm at it. Sound familiar?

I've ordered new weather stripping, butyl tape, and tempered glass. I could only get 1/8" glass. The dimensions were 16.5" x 37.5". The glass won't arrive for...
