An insulating glazing unit comprising:

• first and second lites connected to a spacer having a spacer discontinuity;
• the spacer discontinuity being located at a spacer corner;
• the first and second lites each having an outer perimeter edge;
• the spacer being disposed inwardly of outer perimeter edges of the first and second lites to define a channel;

• the patch disposed over the spacer discontinuity;
• a portion of the patch sealant being disposed in the discontinuity;
• the patch sealant being continuous between the first and second lites;
• and
• a sealant disposed in the channel over the substrate of the patch.
