This page is for Miami Beach homeowners who have Mr-Glass impact windows or doors and want straight answers about what fails, what it costs, and how it should be fixed. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after years of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties pile up on homeowners who deserved better. We’ve been fixing it since.

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

Mr-Glass impact windows are built to take a storm, but Miami Beach’s salt air and humidity find the weak points in any window. Here’s what we see most often on Mr-Glass units across Normandy Isles, North Beach, and South of Fifth:

• Fogged glass on the Mr-Glass 6900 series. The laminated impact glass in these units is bonded with an interlayer that holds up well against windborne debris, but the edge seal around the insulated glass unit is what fails first. Salt air attacks the sealant at the frame corners. Once moisture gets in, you get the white haze between the panes. We replace the full IGU with a fresh sealed unit, not a desiccant patch job that fogs again in eighteen months.
• Binding sashes on Mr-Glass horizontal roller windows. Miami Beach sits on sand and fill; houses shift. When the opening settles even an eighth of an inch, the roller track flexes and the sash starts to drag. We don’t shim the track and call it fixed. We reset the frame in the opening and re-level the rollers so the window moves the way it did when it left the factory.
• Weep hole blockage on Mr-Glass single-hung impact windows. The weep holes at the bottom of the frame are small, and Miami Beach’s airborne salt and sand clog them fast. Water pools in the track, then works its way under the sill and into the wall. We clear the weep system and, where the original design allows, re-drill to spec so drainage works without compromising the impact rating.
• Hardware corrosion on Mr-Glass casement impact windows. The stainless steel hardware holds up, but the zinc-plated crank mechanisms and hinges don’t. Three or four hurricane seasons a block from the ocean, and the crank gets stiff, then frozen. We replace the operator and hinges with marine-grade aftermarket parts that outlast the original spec. Where Mr-Glass OEM parts are available and still under warranty, we register that paperwork with the manufacturer before the truck leaves your driveway.
• Leaking frame corners on Mr-Glass fixed impact windows. These units are installed flush, and the corner sealant is the first casualty of Miami Beach’s thermal cycling: hot sun, sudden downpour, repeat. The sealant shrinks and pulls away. Water follows gravity into the rough opening. We re-seal with a commercial-grade sealant rated for coastal exposure, and we inspect the rough opening flashing while we’re in there. If the original install skipped flashing, that’s usually the real source of the leak, not the window.

Our Mr-Glass Impact Windows Process

Here’s how a Mr-Glass job goes at TruePane, from your first call to the final walkthrough:

1. 1
   You call (386) 406-9359. A live person answers. You describe the window problem. We schedule a time that works, and we show up when we say we will.
2. 2
   On-site diagnostics. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures the opening twice, inspects the frame, the glass unit, the hardware, and the weatherproofing. We read the opening, not just the window. If it’s not right in the opening, it’s not right.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We determine whether Mr-Glass OEM parts are the right call under warranty or whether a marine-grade aftermarket part will hold up better in your location. You see both options on paper, line-itemed, before we order anything.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. Most Mr-Glass impact window repairs are completed in a single visit. We carry common Mr-Glass seal sizes, rollers, crank mechanisms, and IGU dimensions on the truck. If the unit needs replacement, we schedule the install and do the job in one appointment, no second trip left hanging.
5. 5
   Test and warranty registration. We test the window under water pressure where applicable, check the operation, and inspect the seal. Then we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, before we leave. No paperwork fights later.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the promise, in writing, on every Mr-Glass job we touch.
