In reply to Orin Baker. Orin, I would find a contractor local to your nearby cities and see who they use to install windows. There's a good chance they can lead you to a window repair specialist who can help provide you a fix or replacement.

I would like to repair a fogged double pane window that’s about 48 in by 34 in. I have no idea where a repair company exists. I’m located in Garfield, AR about 12 miles from Rogers, about 25 miles from Fayetteville, AR. Would you know of any company close that could fix the window pane?
Thanks

Drilling the holes requires a diamond drill bit and patience. However, even after a couple of weeks it didn’t change the appearance of the fog, in either the badly fogged or the minimally fogged test window I chose.

Tried filling windows with vinegar and soaking overnight before draining. Didn’t work, so I tried Calcium Lime Rust remover the same way. Didn’t work.

Tried taking glass out and cutting the seal. The minerals inside were rock-hard. Using a razor scraper and CLR, I was able to clear about 10″ by 10″ of window pane in about half an hour. Mind you, that is on only one of the two panes of the double paned window. Quick arithmetic told me that the value of my time was worth much more than the $60 per window I had been quoted to replace the glass.

I am now enjoying my newly-installed clear windows!

The white silicone is dripping down 2 of my double pane windows. I don’t know how to remove the frame and windows as the frame appears to be white metal flush with the opening.

Please help….don’t know how to work with this. Thank you. Jo Ann Jensen
