Hey, Lori, thanks for posting! I'm glad our glazing worked for you. I think you might want to take a look at our tutorial video below. This details the best way to remove your old window glazing. |

Hello there! No, you don't have to replace the glass, but bear in mind you could accidentally damage the glass when switching the glazing out. Be very careful when removing old snap glaze. I recommend using a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen it up, but make sure it's not too hot as it could also damage the glass. |

You could theoretically use a glazing bead that isn't identical to the original; I've done it myself in the past, but the new replacement has to at least work under the same principles and be roughly the same size. In the case of your profile, I don't know what could be used as an alternative. The shape is fairly unique. There are cases where you need an exact match, unfortunately. Substitutions aren't always going to be possible. If I were you, I would try to get in touch with the original manufacturer of the window to see if this is a style they can still supply you. |
