From the inside, remove the screen channel on the bottom. remove screen.
Lift up on the glass, remove the bottom glass channel by sliding forward and out. Now the glass will sit a bit lower. Remove the upper channel. Once this is out, tilt the glass up and pull slightly on the bottom of the glass outward. There you have it.

Replacement is the opposite procedure.

Window removal

Post by TADTOOMUCH »

What you need to do is remove the screens first. Take off the top framework and the bottom framework that hold the screen in place. Set the screws aside and the frames.

Look under the glass slider and you should see a piece of track that it slides in. While moving the slider forward, make sure the track moves with the glass going forward. With the track and glass moved forward, hold the track in place and move the glass backward to close it while trying to keep the track from moving back with the glass. Do this a couple times until you can get the track out from under the glass. Then all you have to do is slide any trim off the top of the glass and it will tip inward and out of the framework. Reverse to re-install.
