I have a couple windows in my house that are fogged up (double pane & seal broken), sometime ago there were people that could repair these but I don't know if they are still around. Just wondering if anyone is up on this, if so please let me know by pm.

Another and even better way to repair them is for someone to remove the glass and replace it with new glass in the same frame. I have one price on that but its really expensive. If you know of anyone that does this "economically" please let me know. Thanks much.

I have actually done this before. Take the window apart. You only need to remove the glass on one side.
The inside of the window is surrounded by an aluminum track with tiny slits. Inside the aluminum track is kitty litter. Yours is wet. Usually only the bottom is wet. Remove it, dry it or replace it with Oil Dry or kitty litter. I just threw mine away and left the bottom track empty. Clean the glass on the inside of both panes. Place the pane on the window but, leave a small gap by using a book or something. I used a hair dryer to dry the air between the glass before setting the glass in place. Inspect the rubber seal around both
glass panes and eliminate any small gaps. Use silicone glue if necessary. I did this 15 years ago on several windows and they are still fog free.
