Window seals shot
stranraerscot at gmail dot com "Charles Spitzer" wrote in message ... "FREECYCLEMOM" wrote in message oups.com... Hi everyone. Newbie here. We are in the process of preparing our house for sale. All our "new" windows installed have blown and are all fogged up. We can't afford to replace them all and they are out of warranty. Ok to my problem. We have 3 of the glass from pation doors installed as windows in a sunroom my husband built. The seal is shot on them too, but is much more obvious because of course, they get the sun every day and you can see water condensing and running in them. Is there a way to get the water out? If we drilled a hole in the outside pane would the whole window shatter? Or would just the outside one shatter? Thanks for any input. -- Helen Peagram stranraerscot at gmail dot com the glass may be tempered, in which case, drilling them would shatter them. you could drill a hole in the frame and the material between the edges of the glass, but not much would come out, if anything. I know it would shatter, but would both panes shatter or would just the one being drilled shatter? -- Helen Peagram |

The choices are live with it or replace the panes (you don't have to replace the entire window). Harry K |
