A client of mine has General Aluminum no tilt out windows in their town home in Colorado. One of the windows has a damaged spring balance and missing the bottom clip. I need help identifying the bottom clip to purchase. I have included photos of the good balance clip as well as the channel with the missing clip. Can you help identify and provide information regarding how to install the new clip?

This old General Aluminum window uses a 3/8" diameter Series 400 spiral balance. See what you think. The clip that is screwed on the side of the sash is most likely the 17-052, but it's hard to tell. These windows are not made to come out, so replacing them can be a bit of a hassle. You will need someone to hold the window up for you while you try your best to get in there and swap the bracket out.
