How to clean rusted coils

Hello. Once your coil springs are compromised and begin to rust, that's a good indicator that it's time for replacements. Even if you did clean and lubricate them, you probably wouldn't get much more life out of them and is unlikely to be worth the effort. If you'd like to send us photos of your coils and pivot shoe removed from the window, we'd be happy to recommend replacements for you, which are generally inexpensive parts. Thanks for posting!
