It is done!

Got the repaired window a couple days ago, finished the re-install this morning. Had considered replacing the entire unit but that was crazy expensive. No way cutting tempered glass myself was possible.

Duncan/Lippert (they bought Hehr) wanted $386.88 plus tax and shipping. Parkin Accessories never responded to my submitted order form.

Took it to Dwight's Glass and Mirror in ABQ. They did the repair. It took 4 weeks, mainly because their subcontractor didn't match the glass tint and had to do it over. Dwight's took care of me. Happy to pay $135.06 (tax included).

I used butyl tape to seal/waterproof the exterior frame. One length around. Other great news is after 4 weeks I didn't lose any of the screws.

Thumbs up

Kudos Myron (and Dwight's in ABQ)

Sorry for your hassle but thanks for the experience-sharing, may help some of us cut-to-the-chase in the future

Why do some businesses bother with a website when they don't respond to customer requests for info?

Anyway, good job done.

Hi: padlin... Co-vivid seems to make "Strange bedfellows" out of websites and telephone calls. Working from home can be a challenge too!!! Alf
