But check that it is actually the same size, neither to smaller or larger...You may discover that the frame has bulged this is most likely from water getting trapped in the frame and freezing. So be sure that the drain holes at the lower corners are open to allow any water that gets in at the top.

Phil,
Good to hear from you. I hope your visitors passed on our regards to you...
Thanks for the window info. My glass is indeed thinner than the original glass. The tape I used to line the glass is quite thick but I still get some "slop" that I hope to take up with more tape and sealant. I also drilled additional small holes in the horizontal channel to ensure that moisture has a way out.
Do you have an update on Weare?
