They do not make flexible rods, unfortunately. The balance wouldn't function properly with something like that. It sounds to me like you have what's called a "builder's grade" window. These are older, mass-produced windows that were not made to be repaired in any way. The idea was that if anything broke, no matter how small, you'd simply buy a whole new window from the company who sold you the first one. That's a great deal for them, but a horrible deal for people like you and me. It doesn't help that they don't even make these anymore. That leaves you with very poorly designed windows that aren't made to be fixed and can't even be replaced, since the companies who made them are long gone. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. There's just not a whole lot you can do in this situation. You could try installing a shorter balance and moving the installation hole lower in the track to compensate, but that also means that your window won't be able to open as much. Other than that, you may want to consider all new windows. |
