Fixing Storm Door

Project:
Fixing the storm door window

Difficulty Level (Easy, Medium, Hard, Insane):
Easy

Process:
I noticed that the window pane of our front storm door had slidden out of the aluminum frame and left a gap of about 1/4". I wasn't too concerned about the gap but the window could possibly shatter if too much pressure was put on it by its diagonal sliding so I figured I'd better fix it.

The process was pretty simple:

1. take the window frame out of the door
2. take the window frame apart
3. slide the plastic trim back over the window
4. slide that back into the aluminum trim
5. install the trim back in the window
6. install the window back in the frame
7. all done
