For a house window, you can check with a local glass company. Sometimes, your home insurance will cover replacement; however for such a small window the cost should not be high. I replaced a window once. Clear out the broken glass and putty. Take measurements of the window (3 for width at top, bottom and mid; 3 for height at left, right and middle) and go to a hardware or glass company and they will cut the piece for you. Buy the putty or plastic strips you need and then replace it. For a large window, it may be well worth paying the window company.
For a stove window, you would probably contact the manufacturer of your stove. The type of glass and its replacement are probably specialized tasks.
If the window has single pane glass you can remove the glazing putty and glazing points (metal) measure opening left, middle and right for height and top, middle and bottom for width. You can than take the measurements to a glass company and sometimes a hardware store and have a new piece cut. You will then need to purchase some glazing putty and have a putty knife to apply the glazing putty, you should be able to reuse the glazing points (they hold the glass in place). If you have double pane glass the chances are you will have to replace the whole window sash. There is the chance, depending on the age and manufacturer of the window, a glass company may be able to order a replacement double pane glass unit. You should first check with the window manufacturer. If you can't determine the window manufacturer have the glass company look at the window.

∙ 14y agoThe cost will depend on the quality of glass you choose to replace it with and whether you do it yourself or not. Many times, your homeowners insurance will pick up the cost, so if the prices you get are high, that might be an option.

How do you replace a broken glass window with a new one?
That depends upon whether you need to replace the entire window, frame, sash and sill, or whether you simply need to replace a single glass pane. A visit to your local hardware store or home supercenter could provide you with an entirely new window, but a single pane could be done with some glass, some putty and some know-how.

Replace the window with a vinyl framed "double/triple paned" glass window, available from your local hardware store. Add another window on the inside frame of your existing window. Place a sound barrier in the window frame, blocking the sound (and the light). Use acoustical drapes tove "snap-in" w block sound as they do in Hotels/Motels.
How do you replace the vent glass on a 1994 Camry?
I've done this twice now, but note that the following is not professional advice. Professionals have the special glues and greases to do a clean and guaranteed water-tight job. On the other hand, their services tend to cost about $150, totally unjustified if you ask me. 1. I am assuming the old vent window is broken (it is a frequent target of auto burglars). Start by removing the remains of the window and its gasket. Clean out broken glass from the gasket, door, and vehicle as necessary. 2. Place the new vent window into the old gasket. However, it is preferable to have a new gasket if possible. 3. Roll down the passenger window all the way on the door you are working on. Grab the main window gasket in the top back corner of the window, and pull it away from the door frame. Doing this will reveal a Phillips head sheet metal screw that fixes the metal divider between the two windows to the door frame. Unscrew this screw. 4. Push the divider towards the front of the car to release the hook that holds it in the frame. A flathead screwdriver can assist in this sometimes. 5. Now that the divider is moved some, you can slide the new window, in its gasket, into place. Sometimes another person to help is a good idea, since you need to push the window down while making sure its gasket is going into place properly. 6. Replace the window divider, screw it back down to the door frame, and replace the main window gasket where you pulled it away from the door frame. -Carl Willis 505-412-3277
