My home was hit by 4 1/2" diameter hail. Amazingly the windows didn't get damaged but the outside trim around the glass did get damaged. An example of the damage to the trim regarding the awning window (pic attached). My home was built in 1993 with high quality windows but I don't know the brand. I have been told by some contractors that I have to replace the whole window. However, I think there might be some product - like a snap in plastic molding - that could be used to replace the parts that are damaged The awning window frame measures W33 1/2" X H16" and the outside trim (molding?) measures W29 1/2" X 12 3/4". Do you have any suggestions? I suspect that all the molding would need to be replaced on all the windows on one side of my home where the molding was damaged would need to be replaced to maintain uniformity of appearance. Any suggestions?
Is snap in glazing available for this awning window?

We can likely supply glazing for this, but we need to see the butt end of a piece, removed from the window, like the photo below:

Here are three photos, if they aren't sufficient just let me know and I will take more, perhaps with different lighting so you can get a better look.
