Double hung window, lower sash

Question

the small connector (3 parts) is damaged on the left side. It also gauged the plastic channel.  I included part number off the channel balance in one photo. I need the 3 damaged connector parts.  How can I recondition the plastic channel so it is smooth and window will glide again?

Thanks for writing in. This T-Lock Shoe looks like our 15-195. Go over the dimensions to ensure it matches what you have. As far as damage to the window track, I'm afraid there's not much you can do. You could try shaving sides of the shoe down so it glides more easily along the track, but you can't go overboard with this or else it'll be too loose in the channel. Let me know what you think.
