Please help me I need six of these lifters...

Question

I don't know the proper name to call these window lifters but I need six of them and they are inches long - and I have attached a picture of them for your reference - they are 32 and 1/2 in Long...

The metal portion from the top under the plastic to the bottom under the plastic would be 32 inches...

This part is called a balance. Yours in particular is a rod-type balance, which is an old fashioned model that has not been made in many years.

The good news is that one of our modern channel balances can be used as a substitute. First, check to see if the spring is 1/2" in diameter. If it is, then you can use our Series 795 channel balance with some handiwork. The video below will explain exactly how this can be done, step-by-step.

If your spring is smaller than 1/2" then the Series 795 will not work. Let me know if that's the case and we can work from there.
