I have Sears Weather Beater vinyl windows

This is the bottom window of a small kitchen window

16.75" H X 32.25" W

See: Bottom window Barcode.png

The bottom window has a broken plastic channel spring guide on the right side (from the inside).

I think Left and Right may be the same if the coil is reversed along with the outer plate. Not sure though.

The Coil has "10J" stamped onto it next to the screw.

The Broken White Piece has a "1" stamped onto its side.

Here are the pictures of the part:

and Rotated 1, Rotated 2, Rotated 3, Rotated 4 jpgs

I am not sure if I can replace only the Broken White Piece.

Thanks

Larry

Hello,

Take a look and compare the 15-192 pivot shoe, which uses the Series 170 and Series 171 coil springs, to yours. Please note that past customers have reported having to shave the front of the shoe down to install it in some cases, so we also created an alternative solution shown in the video below that would require replacing all of the necessary balance hardware and pivot bars. Take a look and see what you think.

Hello, Thanks for the info.

Am I correct in thinking that I can use the 15-192 pivot shoe by replacing the center cylinder with my old cylinder, since the pivot bars I have are different and use a screw through the bottom of the window?

Thanks

Larry

Hey, Larry, that's correct. If you decide to go with the Certainteed 15-192 shoe, you would need to reuse the old metal cam. Your old Simonton brand pivot bar won't fit in the Certainteed model.
