Simonton 6500 window

Question

Hello,

Window would not close all the way and found these parts in the side rails. What do I need and how do I replace these parts?

Also the plastic lock piece came apart. Super glue it?

Please help

Hello! These old Simonton balances aren't made anymore, but you can use the following hardware to replace them: the 15-192 shoe, Series 170 and Series 171 coil spring, 15-156 cover, and 15-157 drum. The video below will show you how it all fits together.

Also note that these are Certainteed parts, not Simonton. They will work fine but you should hold onto your old pivot shoe's center metal cam just in case you have to reuse it.
