Simonton Window

A home owner says:

Hello,

We have Simonton window. Bottom window ID shown in picture. The window doesn't stay up. The shoe broke and and the top part coil with a metal band doesn't have anything to grab onto. I am not sure what part I need to fix.

Any help and part # would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi, Bob.

Thank you for your patience during our busy season. It looks like you might have an old Simonton balance system that isn't made anymore. However, take a look at the video below that walks you through a modern substitute that you can try.
