Step three is about choosing your merchandising technique. Now you need to display your story and colours in the best possible way. This means you decide about a method how to place every item in the front window repair.
You will next see what is called a parting bead which is a small trim piece about 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch in size partially buried in the window casing. It separates the two sashes. I recommend replacing these and you will find they are very difficult to remove without splintering them. If you are repairing the window and not installing new side tracks you must replace the parting beads. The upper sash and weight removal is the same as the bottom. Don't forget to open the sash pockets at the bottom of the upper sash tracks as well to allow sash weight removals. With sash, weights, nails and pulleys removed, clean all loose paint from remaining surfaces and if your sure it is not lead paint, some sanding may be in order as well.
Use an ice scraper to remove ice from your windshield and glass. If you find yourself without an ice scraper, you may consider using a spatula or some item you find in your car to remove the ice. This can cause front window repair scratches on the glass. A plastic scraper is very affordable and can be found in most stores you visit. Pick one or two up the next time you are out so that you do not get stuck without the proper equipment you need when your windshield is iced over.
Check with your insurance, because it's likely your insurance will pay for some forms of windshield chip repair. They may even waive the deductible, since repairing your windshield is so much cheaper than replacing a windshield. Should you need total windshield replacement, you may have to pay a deductible with your insurance.
