Need help replacing window parts, including spiral balancers

See photos. I live close to the ocean, so I never noticed the spiral rusting like that. Windows froze up pretty bad. Also broke one of the lower and upper tabs that hold it in, so I need to know how to replace them. The sheet metal screw on the bottom one doesn't seem to do anything.

Hello! Sounds like you need new spiral balances and tilt latches. Starting with the spiral balance, you only have two options to pick from, since this is a tilt window: either the 3/8" diameter Series 900 or the 9/16" diameter Series 600. Your next step should be to measure the diameter of the outer tube on your original balances and pick accordingly.

As for the tilt latch, see our 26-243 and 26-244. As before, you want to check your dimensions before you buy anything just to be safe. We list detailed dimensions for each product on their respective store pages.
