How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Mr-Glass impact windows are common in Hollywood homes built or retrofitted after Hurricane Andrew, and we’ve worked on enough of them to know where they go wrong. These are the failure modes we see most often in this area.

• Roller and track wear on Mr-Glass horizontal sliders. The original nylon rollers flatten over time, especially in Hollywood’s salt air, and the sash starts to drag or bind. Homeowners often assume the frame is warped, but it’s almost always the roller assembly. We pull the sash, replace the rollers with a heavier-duty aftermarket set, and reset the track alignment so the panel glides without forcing it.
• Laminated glass delamination at the edges. Impact-rated Mr-Glass units use a laminated inner layer, and we’ve seen edge clouding and delamination in Hollywood homes where windows face direct afternoon sun for years. The symptom looks like fogging but isn’t a seal failure – it’s the interlayer separating from the glass. That means the unit needs replacement, not a reseal. We’ll tell you that straight rather than sell you a fix that won’t hold.
• Weep hole blockage causing sill rot and frame corrosion. Mr-Glass impact windows have weep channels at the sill that clog with Hollywood’s combination of wind-blown sand, salt, and organic debris. Blocked weeps hold water against the frame, and we’ve pulled more than a few Mr-Glass sashes in Hollywood to find the bottom rail quietly corroding. We clear the channels, treat the corrosion if it’s superficial, and replace the frame section if it isn’t.
• Stripped or loosened hardware on casement and awning units. The crank mechanisms and locking points on older Mr-Glass impact casements wear under repeated use, especially the multi-point lock sets. The sash will feel tight at the handle but won’t seat evenly against the weatherstripping. We re-time the hardware, and when the gears are gone, we replace the operator with an quality aftermarket unit that matches the original hole pattern.
• Frame racking from settling slabs. Hollywood sits on a mix of sandy soil and old fill, and we regularly see Mr-Glass impact frames that have been pulled slightly out of square by slab settling. The window binds at one corner, the lock won’t engage, and the homeowner thinks they need a whole new unit. If the frame is structurally sound, we can often re-shim and re-square it without pulling the opening apart. Dale Kessler grew up in the Liberia neighborhood of Hollywood, so he knows which blocks are more prone to this than others.

Our Mr-Glass Impact Windows Process

Every Mr-Glass job starts the same way: we measure twice before we quote anything. Here’s how it goes when you call us in Hollywood.

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (863) 334-2933. A live person answers – 24/7, not a voicemail tree. We ask what’s going on, what you’re seeing, and when it started.
2. 2
   In-person diagnostic. We schedule a visit. Our tech measures the opening, checks the frame for square, inspects the rollers, seals, and hardware, and identifies whether this is a repair or a replacement. You get side-by-side options on paper.
3. 3
   Parts decision. Where OEM Mr-Glass parts are available and make sense, we use them. Where a quality aftermarket part will last longer or fits better, we tell you that and show you the difference before we order anything.
4. 4
   The fix, done in one visit when possible. Most Mr-Glass impact window repairs in Hollywood are single-visit jobs. We bring the parts, do the work, and clean up before we leave.
5. 5
   Test and re-check. We close, lock, and cycle every panel before we pack up. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
6. 6
   The guarantee, in writing. Every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
