Replacement of Failed Seals in Windows 7

Missy : Unless the window is under warranty, most sellers will refuse to fix a failed seal. Window seals fail over time with use, and depending on the age of the window seal, failure can be expected. It’s another simple fix, and sometimes you need to choose your battles. Don : A failed seal in a fixed slider window or a semi- circular window can be expensive. Also, if there are many broken seals the cost adds up. I think extensive broken seals tend to be an indication of low-quality windows. Its rare to find a broken seal in an Anderson or Pella or Marvin.
