i used a hair dryer to warm up the glazing a bit and it helped get the strips off and the broken pieces of glass out.

[@FerrellMcCollough]

The way to do it is to slide the block of wood on the glass and hit the bead with the wood. Hammer is high risk with glass.

Thank you for the video I learned A few tips!

[@thomassemich4627]

Is there a good water soluble lubricant that would help get the glazing bead may be out, or especially back in? Such as a little bit of dish soap? Or like someone may have commented using a hairdryer to warm it up a little bit?

Yay! I can do that!!

What if you have no internal or external glazing bead but its a PVC window?

[@bobbyb7127]

Where do you buy replacement Vinyl Glazing Bead?

[@dookey7846]

I have to replace mine too, thanks for the tips but whats the point of the glaze beads? Do they just hold the glass in?

[@SWISCO]

For some windows, the glazing bead does hold the glass in place. In others, the glass is held in place with a sealant and the glazing bead can serve as a decorative piece or as insulation.

[@ghosthk2935]

If I just wanted the glass from a vinyl window, can I do this and remove the glass?

[@SWISCO]

Taking out the glazing will usually allow you to remove the glass. Sometimes the manufacturer will use an adhesive as well as glazing which you'll need to loosen before the glass will come out.

[@checkengine1752]

Is the gap between the glass and the window frame needed, because I caulked it with a rope caulk? 😳🤔

[@checkengine1752]

There was a ¼" gap around the glass 🙃

[@lorenzojmartinez]

I think its for expansion of the glass. Guess it grows and shrinks depending on temperature. Should be okay though i guess since the caulk is soft.

[@ReLiveANTHY]

What type of window is that? American Craftsmen? Andersen?

[@tenzin044]

Those are easy because shape of the beads are close to square. What about those with.I could call ''S'' shape? One end going close to the glass with rubber seal.

[@SWISCO]

I'm not sure exactly which glazing bead you have, please go to www.swisco.com/page-id-part and upload photos of the glazing bead. The experts should be able to help. Thanks for watching.

Not sure about the wisdom of wielding that metal hammer around those panes of glass - would a soft faced hammer or a rubber mallet not be a bit more prudent? Otherwise a good tutorial video.
