Then, use a utility knife to cut off the glazing compound and points that help to hold the glass in place. Keep track of the components and their locations to ensure they are reinstalled.
Once the frame and sash have been removed and the frame is removed, you can begin preparation to install the new glass. Be sure to check that the opening of the frame is the right size for your replacement window. To allow for frame and glass expansion and contraction take measurements in both directions across the opening and subtract 1/8 inch. Then, buy double-strength glasses that are cut to these exact dimensions. It is also an excellent idea to buy enough new glazier's clips or glazier's points to be installed every 6 inches around the window pane.
If the manufacturer is responsible for this you should contact them and file a claim. Once the new glass has been installed, it needs to be bedded in with a thin layer of glazier's compound. After the compound is dry you can paint the frame to be a perfect match.

Make a two-part mix of epoxy. They are usually a 50/50 mixture of resin and hardener and must be mixed quickly. Once the mixture is done, apply it to the crack in the glass and leave it to dry. It will take just about a minute, but it's essential to work quickly since the mixture is very thick and fast-drying.
After the epoxy has dried, you can take off any excess with a putty knife. The next step is to clean around the cracked glass. If you don't do it properly, the residue can cause further damage to the glass. Once the glass is cleaned with a putty blade, use it to smooth the compound along the edge of the window, and then match it to the frame made of wood.
Think about using a plastic lid to make a more durable choice. You can cover the glass using masking tape or a strong-duty trash bag. This will stop the crack from expanding, and will also keep out water, wind bugs, debris, and water.
You can come up with a temporary fix in the event that you are unable to reach the window in a timely manner. Apply a small amount silicone sealant around the edge of the damaged glass.

Other alternatives include replacing the current IGU with a single pane or repairing it by drilling a small hole in the bottom of the unit and filling the solution with anti-fog.
You can also seal up the gap between the window frame and the sill or threshold using a felt strip, or vinyl V-strip. Felt is affordable and can be glued, nailed or stapled in place, but it does not offer much protection against moisture. Vinyl v-strips are simple to put up and is durable, but can be expensive. It is generally reserved for areas that are subject to high abrasion. Door sweeps are affordable and can be nailed to the floor, but they create virtually no barrier between the threshold or sill and air, dust, and other debris.

Wearing protective eyewear and gloves take care to remove the glazing points, which are tiny fasteners that hold the glass to the frame's recess using sharp and pointed ends. After you have removed the glazing points, clean the grooves and sand the wood smooth.

Apply pressure on the glass to force the putty into a tight seal. Smooth the compound with a gloved finger and then wipe off any mistakenly applied caulk or spills that are not properly wiped away before it is dry.
