How Can I Change The Plastic Window On My Outside Door?

The text provides a detailed guide on how to replace yellowed plastic molding on an exterior door, as well as how to install a full-frame replacement window. To replace the old window trim, follow these steps:

1. Order a new window insert sized to fit your door. If you’re not sure what size you need, use a removable snap plastic window grid.

2. Install a PVC exterior casing on a window in a brick wall. Install exterior trim with flashing to ensure air and water tightness.

3. Remove the existing window trim. Before starting, make sure to have an electrical inspection for safety.

4. Install a new window into an old, drafty doorway opening. Replacement doors come pre-hung in a weatherstripped frame, and you don’t need to be a master carpenter to do a first-class job.

5. Remove the trim around the window. Remove the window, prepare the space for the new door, and place the new door/door jam in the opening.

6. Replace the glass around the frame around the glass. You will need to know the brand door to get the correct size.

7. Realign the pieces by gluing the cracks, sanding off excess glue, filling gaps with caulk, and painting. If DIY, consider cutting the center of the door out and replacing with a new door glass insert.
