1. A window assembly adapted to be positioned within a window frame, the window assembly comprising: a retainer positioned inside the window frame, the retainer including a first leg directly attachable to the window frame such that the window frame encloses the retainer and a second leg that is resiliently deflectable relative to the first leg, the second leg including one of a first projection and a first groove;a transparent panel having an edge; anda frame member attached to the edge and including a lip extending along a substantial length of the frame member, the lip including the other of the first projection and the first groove, wherein the first projection is received in the first groove by a snap-fit to secure the lip between the first leg and the second leg of the retainer;wherein the first leg of the retainer includes one of a second projection and a second groove, wherein the frame member includes the other of the second projection and the second groove, and wherein the second projection is received in the second groove. 2. The window assembly of claim 1, wherein the edge of the transparent panel is a first edge, the retainer is a first retainer attachable to a first side of the window frame, and the frame member is a first frame member, wherein the transparent panel includes a second edge adjacent the first edge, and wherein the window assembly further includes a second retainer attachable to a second side of the window frame adjacent the first side, anda second frame member attached to the second edge and including a lip secured to the second retainer by a snap-fit. 3. The window assembly of claim 2, further comprising a corner member interconnecting the first and second frame members. 4. The window assembly of claim 3, wherein the frame member includes an inboard portion to which the panel is attached and an outboard portion from which the lip extends. 5. The window assembly of claim 4, wherein the inboard portion of the frame member includes a channel and at least one resiliently deflectable finger extending into the channel, and wherein the panel is engaged by the finger to secure the frame member to the panel. 6. The window assembly of claim 5, wherein the inboard portion of the frame member includes at least two resiliently deflectable fingers extending into the channel, and wherein the panel is secured between the fingers of the frame member. 7. The window assembly of claim 4, wherein each of the first and second frame members includes a longitudinal aperture between the inboard portion and the outboard portion, and wherein the corner member includes a first protrusion at least partially received within the aperture of the first frame member, and a second protrusion at least partially received within the aperture of the second frame member. 8. The window assembly of claim 7, wherein the first protrusion is interference fit to the first aperture to interconnect the corner member to the first frame member, and wherein the second protrusion is interference fit to the second aperture to interconnect the corner member to the second frame member. 9. The window assembly of claim 7, wherein the first and second protrusions define an included angle of about ninety degrees. 10. The window assembly of claim 4, wherein the corner member includes a wall overlying at least a portion of each of the first and second frame members. 11. The window assembly of claim 1, wherein the retainer includes a living hinge interconnecting the first and second legs. 12. The window assembly of claim 1, wherein the retainer includes the first and second projections, and wherein the frame member includes the first and second grooves. 13. The window assembly of claim 12, wherein the first projection includes a distal end biased toward the first leg of the retainer. 14. The window assembly of claim 13, wherein the lip includes a ridge extending along a substantial length of the frame member, wherein the ridge at least partially defines the first groove, and wherein the distal end of the first projection is engageable with the ridge during the snap-fit. 15. The window assembly of claim 14, wherein the second leg resiliently deflects away from the first leg in response to the distal end of the first projection sliding over the ridge during insertion of the lip between the first and second legs. 16. The window assembly of claim 14, wherein the frame member includes spaced, parallel walls between which the edge of the panel is located, and wherein the first groove is defined between one of the walls and the ridge. 17. The window assembly of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive on the retainer for attaching the retainer to the window frame.
