The Clopay Window Inserts – Glacial White – REC12 is an OEM decorative grille designed to refresh or replace the 12‑pane rectangular pattern on compatible Clopay garage door windows. The REC12 design delivers a clean, traditional look and is commonly paired with Clopay Classic and traditional stamped-panel doors that accept REC-series inserts. As a genuine Clopay replacement part, it is engineered to fit the corresponding Clopay window frame and outer lens for a reliable, rattle-free installation and a factory-matched Glacial White finish across residential or light commercial applications.
Use this insert to restore a damaged grille or upgrade the curb appeal of an existing Clopay door without changing the glass. Installation typically involves removing the interior window retainer, lifting out the existing insert, placing the new REC12 insert, and reinstalling the retainer—no wiring or programming required. For safety, disconnect the garage door opener, secure the door in the down position, and wear gloves to protect hands and glazing. Verify compatibility by confirming that your door’s current window design is REC12 or consult Clopay’s window design chart; this insert is intended for Clopay frames that accept snap-in REC-series grilles and is not universal for third-party frames. Clean with mild, non-abrasive products to maintain the finish and clarity of the surrounding lens.
