I'm hoping we just didn't understand the question from Pat. Pat if your wondering about pulling the spacer out of the glass unit and doing it over. NO GOOD!! The factory has a tough time doing occasionally in house. So you really don't want to even think about it. You can replace the glass unit only though. This is a rather easy job if you have the proper tools. Your window unit has a removable glass stop on one side or the other. This stop holds the glass in place. You can pop this off and get a good look at your existing glass for measurement. You can then measure and give these sizes to your local glass company. Make sure you give them the thickness of the unit! If this is wrong your ship doesn't sail!!! I would suggest having your local glass shop do this one for you. It may be best to let them do the entire job. All you have to do is make on little slip and your glass is cracked. Good Luck!!!
