they might be scratched, cracked or do they have damaged glazing? In this case for you to repair the aluminium storm windows you might have to remove the storm sash or the screen. Then remove the glazing, which is usually glass or acrylic plastic.

You may notice that the edges are secured by metal keys in this case you will need to remove the screws to remove some of the corners – one or maybe two. If you find that they are crimped then an awl could be used to extract the vinyl splints that are used to secure the glazing.

Once you have done all that you can then install the new glazing (2mm). Just make sure that you make it smaller than the interior frame dimension in order to enable some expansion and contraction.
