Jalousie Window info

I found a replacement Hehr Jalousie clip I have and held it in the same orientation as the one in your photo and it's quite a bit different. I would say they are not Hehr and likely never used the little squishy rubber circles to begin with. Does it look at all like the previous owner may have modified them? Not sure what the open cell foam in the corners is for? It does not look like the aluminum comes anywhere near them?

To get the glass out I think you bend the metal tabs near the rivets down away from the glass and out at the same time. Doing this on both sides should give you the space so the glass can fall below the lip on the end of the clip and slide out.

Hopefully others with this same style will chime in. Good luck :-)

Hi Friends,

Interesting. That's not a Hehr window.

Initionally, I thought the rubber discs that Hehr uses to hold in the glass were never part of the equation, but looking at it again and again, I am starting to think that something similar may have been used and as the discs dried out, the PO just bent the tabs.

For removing the glass pane, my suggestion is a little different than PT's. I would just bend the tab down so the bottom edge of the tab is parallel to the ground and maybe a hair more. See if the glass comes out. If it doesn't then go to the added step of bending out. However, I would be really cautious if you go to the bending out stage because when you bend it back, that's when I can see it breaking off. 

I had to replace a glass pane on the jalousies on my Rod and Reel once. I took another glass panel out of the frame and took it in to a glass shop so he could use it as a template. He traced around it and cut it. The result was that it was a smidge off. I couldn't get it into the frame and had to use emmory cloth to sand down the glass to make it fit. It was an ardous chore. So, what I am suggesting is to cut the glass a smidge narrower making the length a tiny bit shorter just to make sure it fits - Maybe a millimeter or two narrower.

Another consideration is that currently, at least from your description, the glass panes are in place.  If it works, don't fix it, comes to mind.  I know it's easier to clean up the glass panes when they are removed, though.
