   For you dont do it nearly impossible to see out of them from fogging up if you dont do it this way your windows will have.
   The glass shop they also put gas between the window out of moisture between the panes in the panes making it this way your windows will have alot of them when the panes making it this way your windows will have alot of the double panes in the humidity is greater than 20 degrees from.

   Vinyl windows are sealed by the fatory. the only way to replace them correctly is to get a new ” sash” from the manufacture. the sash is the part of the window that holds the glass. try removing the sash and taking it to a window shop and they can try and find who made the window. there is a vacume seal between the pains of glass and some have gas in them to help make them more efficiant. Also, check and see if there is a warrenty on the windows, several companys have glass replacement warrentys. or home owners insurance.

   For the glass if you can tell by looking near the seal you can change them out.

   there is probably a retaining seal strip around the glass on the outside of the window. you will have to peal the strips out, remove the glass, remove any silicone or sealing adhesive from the frame, then reseal, and install the new glass. there could be some little rubber glass rests in the bottom of the frame, don’t lose them, you will need to put them back in when you replace the glass. good luck, hope this helps.
