It's probably a broken seal in the window. The only thing that matters is what did you agree to in writing per the sales contract. Was a repair addendum sent to the seller by your agent requesting the following repairs? If so, then if the repair is not complete, the title company needs to prepare addendum to hold seller funds in escrow to complete repair after closing. If no repair request was sent to seller requesting this repair per the contract requirements of (warranted items) to be repaired by the seller prior to closing, with a licensed contractor and receipts to be provided to buyer prior to closing then you are closing, and seller is not responsible. This repair request must be in writing and agreed to by all parties per contract requirements and timelines set forth in your sale and purchase contract.
