Installing vinyl retrofit windows

Hey all,

What is the best way to install vinyl retrofit windows over vinyl new construction windows with stucco siding?

I do not want to break my stucco to install a new window.

Re: Vinyl retrofit windows over vinyl new construction windows

Thanks for your feedback! Its stucco over frame, and i dont want to break the stucco. Can I cutback some of the vinyl and put a retrofit window right over the old vinyl frame? As long as the zbar frame covers the exterior of the original window entirely, i dont see why it cant be done?
