Tools Needed: Putty Knife, Pruning Shears, Caulking
Gun and Clear Silicon.
- Remove the glazing bead around the inside of
the glass. To do this, insert your putty knife
in the crack where the glazing bead meets the
frame at one of the ends (see illustration A).
After you have pulled away one end of the glazing
bead, continue pulling out the entire bead. The
bead must be installed the same way.
- After all glazing bead is removed go to the
outside of the window. Insert the putty knife
between the glass and the window frame. Slide
the knife all the way around the frame in order
to break the silicone seal. After you have done
this the glass should push out toward the interior
of the house.
- Back inside the house, remove all the existing
silicone. You should not have any lumps or build
up of old silicone left in the frame.
- Put a liberal bead of new silicon around the
perimeter of the frame where the glass will lay.
- Put the new glass panel in place and install
the glazing bead. New bead has been provided and
may need to be cut to the proper length. Install
the width pieces first and then the heights.
Note: For proper installation of all four glazing
bead sections, Leg A (as shown in illustration)
of glazing bead must fit in designated channel.
