It appears to be getting progressively worse. That is moisture between the panes. It is a vinyl windows, about 9 years old. New window time?

If you purchased the window new the unit could still be under warranty. __________________ A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words Especially In The DIY Chatroom -NEW MEMBERS- Please include your basic location in your profile.

So, would I call a window/glass company to fix this, or is it DIYable? The window came with the house I bought 2 years ago, so if there was a warranty it probably wouldn't transfer. Plus, I have no paperwork of manufacturer/seller/installer info.

They’ll come out and measure it, order it, make sure you get the right glass with grids and install it. If anything is wrong, it’s on them. __________________ A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words Especially In The DIY Chatroom -NEW MEMBERS- Please include your basic location in your profile.

It is doable if you really want, but you won't pay much more to have them install it, and you can be sure that it won't leak, or break during installation, or something like that. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Have them come out and measure it, or, what I did with one of the double hungs in my shop the last time was remove the upper or lower sash, whichever one it was, boarded the opening, dropped the sash off, then picked it up when they were done, and reinstalled it.
