This part is the bottom pivot part for the window to tilt in. I'm guessing it usually travels up and down with the window but now is stuck at the bottom. I've tried several times to work it free but I can't get it to move.
So I guess I have two problems:
1) Get this broken part out
2) Get its replacement in and engaging the window again.
Thanks for any help!

Yes! Looks like you have identified that pivot part for me. So after getting it out of the window I managed to break the housing for the two double coils. They fit right on top of each other and both hook up to the same slot in the pivot. These are double hung windows. The sliding window is about 29" x 29". What I'm looking for now is the plastic housing that holds the coils. There is one housing for each coil(2 per side).
Thanks!!

Well, the parts you recommended arrived today. I don't even know how to thank you so much!! You took the time to answer my questions and suggested some videos. Windows that have not worked properly in years are now working!! I am a handy guy, but my knowledge of my double hung windows was very limited. I have learned so much! It's comforting to know that if any of my other windows have issues I can rely on Swisco.
Again
Thanks!
