Looking for a vinyl patch to use for holes drilled into our windows

Could any of you help me, I really need to find a way to patch small 1/8" holes in my vinyl windows. My husband allowed someone to drill through the windows yesterday and they drilled the a hole going from the inside of the house to the runoff channel on the outside of the window. It is also in the middle of the window at the bottom, not on a side. I could really appreciate any help as we just had these windows all installed two years ago.

We use a PVC resin called Stelmax 1985. It will fill small holes, like your 1/8" ones. There are several places to buy it online, but I couldn't find any in the USA. Here is an information page about the product. I think it has links if you decide you want to order it.

Need advice

Think my energy bills are running high..Need some help in deciding between whether to do a window's glass replacement or get blinds/shades installed. Most of the windows currently do not have any blinds/shades, but have curtains though. Somebody suggested having blinds/shades can also reduce energy bills.Also need advice what are the best options and brands available for both?

I'm installing some in my basement. I roughed the opening according to specs on the doors, but there's still at least an inch on each side when I insert the door into the opening. What's the best way to install these? Any step by step instructions?
