- Prepare the Door: Detach the door, lay it down with the outside facing down.
- Remove Glass Stops: Use a putty knife to remove the glass stops and any nails.
- Remove Silicone: Push out the panel and remove any remaining silicone.
- Prepare Opening: Apply silicone around the opening for a tight seal.
- Insert New Panel: Place new panel into opening; use wood glue if it's in two halves.
- Attach Glass Stops: Cut and insert glass stops, nail them into the door. Use resin putty for prefinished doors to hide nail holes.
