Tips & Warnings
There are different ways to fasten a grille to your window but most start with a push pin. If there are additional fastening mechanisms and you have questions, speak with the manufacturer.
Window grilles can be added to different places on your window. Some are added to the inside while others can be placed on the outside. Others fit in the middle of two panes of glass. Pick the one you like best but keep cleaning in mind when you do.
Gluing the grille to the window is usually done at the manufacturer so be cautious when you're completing this step-it must be done with precision. Also remember that once the grille is glued you won't be able to remove it for cleaning.
