I didn't take the glass out of the metal frame. I brought the whole assembly to the glass shop. The shop disassembled the window, made new double pane glass and reassembled the window. Just so you know, there was a small extra charge for cutting a rounded corner on one of the panes, but as I recall the whole thing cost about $450.
By the way, don't use silicone to reinstall the window. I used butyl caulk that came in a ribbon-like spool--the same stuff that was used originally. It took some time and elbow grease to clean up the old caulk, so plan on having a beverage or two handy to help with the process!
