I did all my a few years back. To figure out the space size just scrape or cut the window glaze back. I use the one that slides. Once you get a small area clean you can measure the space between the panes. Back then a 66 foot roll cost around $60 and the sealant that seals the spacer was right at $10 per windows. Takes just about one tube per window. I have 8 windows so had two rolls of spacer with a lot left over and one tube of sealant per window. The first one took a day to take out clean and repair and put back in. After that two per day easy. Cheaper that the several hundreds per window. Pm me if you need any more info.

how do u vacuum seal the unit(what factory does) once its clean so u don't get condensation??

I happen to live where it is dry. Super spacer sealant is a single component urethane not silicone. The spacer has desiccant build into the spacer which does have silicone in it. If you read up on Super Spacer system you will get the answer. I took two pieces of glass and installed the spacer and seal as instructed. Let dry for 24 hours and stuck it into a five gallon bucket with a brick on it. Fill with water. Took it out a week later , no leaks. This was left out in the New Mexico sun. The spacer is recess 1/4 inch from the glass edge. The super spacer sealant is then applied to the edge of the window to fill the space. All should be done within an hour. try this link. http://www.quanex.com/Architect/Products/Product-Detail.aspx?Id=43
