Window vs weed wacker

May 18, 2014, 07:12:55 pm

I guess the weed wacker though a stone though my GV bedroom window when I was not looking and making many little pieces out of it.  Darn wacker

So be it, but I need a pane for the broken one. It's tinted with the GV gold ( kinda ) factory color. The measurements are 26 3/4" wide x 24 3/4" tall. The over all window is 55 1/2" long from window trim to window trim.
Does anyone know where I may get one?

Next time I need to borrow Billy from Brad. Might be cheaper in the long run.

Go straight to Foretravel. Same thing happen to us, got the whole window plus shipping for $220. Except ours was window by dining table.

This probably proves I'm a geek... but when I read the title my first reaction was that the weed whacker probably wouldn't do email very well but practically *anything* would be better than Windows.

Yup, the weed whacker is a push type like a lawn mower.

I found some information from Hehr, so I'm going to contact them for a replacement pane.
It looks easy enough to replace.

Here's the PDF file I found. http://www.hehrintl.com/pdf/Hehr%20Service%20Manual.pdf

When we had a lawn mower stone break a Creation dual pane outer glass, Xtreme in Nac had several old windows at their place to choose from. All were removed when new windows were installed. No reason to require a perfect color match. One has to be in Nac to go through their stored area, as they have no idea which window goes where.

If the original glass tint is unavailable, just use untinted glass and add tinting film. They come in a wide variety of colors.
