   I've been wrong before but here goes.... If it's a new construction window it's most likely nailed through a flange from the out side and caulked under the flange. So you'd have to remove or at least cut the siding back about 2" to access the fasteners. If nailed they are no fun to remove. Getting the caulk itself unstuck is yet another problem.

   If they are replacements it may be screwed in from the sides of the replacement and set in caulk.

   It's not a simple job to remove with out possibly breaking the glass, that much racking could cause the glass to break due to the stress in place also.

   Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is new construction / original to the house so I assumed it has a nailing flange. I was just hoping someone might have a trick but I figured I would be ripping some siding off.

   There are no tricks to this. It's plain old fashioned carpentry. Remove what you have carefully before you try to come to a resolution.
   But before you do anything why did the dormer sag and what are you going to do to stop it continuing to move?
