Abstract
A window assembly includes a sash with rails and stiles that define an opening. Glazing closes the opening and a grille covers the glazing. A retaining strip releasably attaches the grille to the sash. The retaining strip extends along substantially the entire length of at least two opposite sides of the window opening and is mounted on the rail or stile closely adjacent to the glazing. The strip hardware has an elongate V-shape formed of two substantially flat arms which connect to each other at an acute angle. One of the arms of the retaining strip is adhesively mounted to the rail or stile surface, and the other of the arms, the free arm, has a ridge or arch formed in the distal end portion which engages a groove in the outer peripheral edge of the grille.
