Window is defective. It was brought up by inspector. Depends on how strong you feel. Also,
whether your closing is contingent upon inspection items being satisfied as to loss of downpayment and other potential expenses if you do not close (lawyer Fees etc). Perhaps share the cost as a compromise.
A business lesson I learned years ago. Put things into perspective. If the window replacement is $250 on a multi hundred thousand dollar sale, and you have already had expenses (Like cost of inspection), if you walk away you are losing money. Perhaps you might even want to gift them their prized window when you replace it so they can install it in their new abode.
