Any tips on how to get a new #15-129 pivot shoe into the channel which currently has no cut-out? I have made my own cutouts before, but they tend to look sloppy

Certainly! If your window doesn't have premade cutouts, then you will need to make your own. I suggest watching the video below, which covers how this can be done step by step. Give it a look and let me know if you had any follow up questions. We're always here to help.

I would recommend purchasing the jamb expander for vinyl windows over cutting into the frame. It's worth the price especially if you haveore than one to do. Just my 2 cents.
