Squeaky noise

Quick Learner from Shelby Township MI

Hello,

I hope your weekend going well.

I've used silicone and lithium oil and still not working both side keep squeaking.

Thank you for your help in advance.

The window has a 27C with hook attachments

If you have lubricated your balance and it's still squeaking during operation, then it strongly indicates that the balances are near the end of their lifespan and will need to be replaced.

I'm happy to assist, but I'll need a bit more information. To start, I need you to remove an undamaged balance and show me a clear photo of the bottom end, specifically the pivot shoe attached there. Seeing it removed will be essential since too many important details are obscured while it's in the frame.

I'd also like a clearer shot of the hole where the hook installs.

Lastly, please tell me how many balances in total you want to buy. I have a suspicion that this may need to be a custom order, so we should get quantity now just to be safe.

Hello 
Thank you for responding back to me.
See attached and if you need me totally remove it I can do that as well. 
Will need total of 4 for each window.
 
Thank you

Thank you. With the shoe in the frame, I'm afraid I can't tell what size it might be. These come in different widths and I want to make sure we get you the right size for this application. Can you at least tell me if it's 1-1/4" wide or 1" wide? Make sure that you only measure it after its removed.

Thanks! This is all the information we needed. I'll email you a purchase link and price quote right now that will let you add 4 of these balance assemblies to your cart. You will also need the 15-194 shoe, which is only sold separately at this time. You can attach this to the new balance assembly upon receipt. Don't forget to add these to your cart, as well!

To summarize how we're making them, it will be an S795-27 but with the top clip swapped out for our 15-198 hook.

For the weatherstripping, this appear to match our 58-183. Just make sure that the dimensions all line up before you purchase it, since there are other bubble seal types that share this same style but in different sizes.
