Abstract
This invention is directed toward a window for a garage door panel, where the window has an interior frame and an exterior frame. Both the interior and exterior frame have straight members that are secured to each other through the parts of the garage door that surround the opening with screws and screw receptacles. Connecting the frame members are corner braces, than come in a variety of designs, with some being invisible after installation and others forming a decorative “corner” to the window.
