Wooden panes need replaced in several old sky lights, what's best to do?

My wooden panes of several sky lights are rotten, replace with different panes? Live in northern midwest.
If the frame of a skylight are rotting and you just replace the frame, it will likely rot again. First see this page aboutwhy do skylights leak, because sometimes it can be a leak from gaskets, seals or flashing around the skylight on the roof, but sometimes its just condensation forming on skylights that looks like a leak. As a general rule we always recommend reusing and repairing something before replacing when possible, but this may not be the case. A poorly sealed double pane skylight in a cold climate will lose a lot of heat, and it will often lead to condensation forming and damaging frames and walls just like you are seeing.
There are also these pages about how to knowwhen to repair windows and when to replace them, andwhat to look for when choosing windows如果你确实需要替换它们,这可能会给你提供更多的洞察力。简而言之,你也许能够解决这个问题,但你可能最终会遇到同样的问题。
