I have a broken window, & ofcourse it’s the fixed pane not the slider.
I have replaced them in wood clad, & metal frame , but never in a vinyl one.
Is there a way to pop out & replace the fixed pane in a vinyl , or am I stuck with replacing the whole thing.
It’s not a real expensive window, but replacing the whole thing is going to be a huge pain ( all pun intended) the way I have the trim placed ( 5/4 x 6 ceder decking) is a huge task to re-do.
any help greatly appreciated.

If I am thinking correctly......if you know the who made the window you can give them the window size. They will send glass and the removable vinyl stops for the inside. Not a huge task, just did it last week on a duplex that the window came out cracked.
All they sent was a bunch of vinyl pieces and a piece of glass.
It's a few "if's" but I hope I have helped.

Yeah the manufacturer is about 5 miles from my house.
I wasn't sure if the window was in a sealed vinyl encasement or not.
I'll give them a call & see who I have to buy the glass through.
Thanks for the info.
I had that happen on a all-vinyl single hung with insulated glass. We removed the upper unit se sheetrock could be passed throught the opening, and they cracked the glass putting it back in. Usually on the inside there are snap=in strips that hold the glass in place. The glass company made it look easy, but they cut the new piece the wrong size twice.
