I have 24 31x74 wood double hung windows installed in 1999. Every one of the friction shoes on the bottom sashes has broken. I believe the 15-104 shoes will fit but have a question about anchoring the top of the springs. The upper sash spring is on an s-clip but the lower sash spring appears to have been bent and pushed onto the top of the jamb. Is there a reason for this or does it look like the result of a questionable repair in the past? My question is, should I anchor the same way or get s-clips for the bottom sashes? Also the springs are nearly the same size for both top and bottom. Not hard to see why they all broke with that much tension. Is that normal? Thanks
