channel balance 27C BSI and shoe

Home Owner from Ohio
We have a window that goes up but does not stay up, it just slams back down. We believe we need to replace the shoe or channel balance and shoe. I'm unable to find a similar shoe. The windows were manufactured in 2006 by American Weatherseal who has since gone out of business. Can you recommend what might fit the channel balance 27C BSI? Pictures attached.

This looks like a Series 795 balance, but with a 15-194 shoe and 15-198 clip at the top. I'm afraid the 15-194 shoe will not fit on your balance, since yours has a crimped end. They no longer make balances like that.

That aside, we can custom make this for you, if you wish. Before we begin, can you just tell me how many you need?

We think we just need the metal piece in the shoe, we discovered that the window wasn't catching because the metal piece was broken. Do you sell just the metal piece to fit our shoe?

We do not, but you could possibly swap the metal cams out. If you unhook the green collar on the shoe the cams should come out.
