Question

Is there any way to replace the top glass in a vinyl single hung window?

Answer 1

there is no top sash the glass is fixed into the frame. it can be removed but it is not a simple task. there is a plastic trim piece on each side that comes out and the glass is usually held in with two face type tape. you can slide a putty knife between the glass and the frame on the inside and work your way around to free the panes. once the trim peices have been removed measure the glass for the correct replacement fit and order your replacement. when the replacement comes be sure to purchase some of the setting tape to replace the tape that you remove.
