Window balance replacement

Question

1980 Double pane red tip window spiral balance. I need to replace 8 window balances, as the tube is cracked on most, if not all of them.

Hello,

Your photos resemble the (3/8") S900 or (5/8") S600 red tip spiral balances, depending on the diameter of the plastic housing tube.

We'll need to see an undamaged version of your pivot shoe removed from the other side or an identical window to compare to our inventory, as well as have you write out the exact width and thickness to ensure a good fit. See the video below to assist you. Thank you!
