Vinyl replacement window clips
They press in flush with the window, and are very difficult to pull out, there's no tab or way to get under the clip to pull it out. and they have a small bent metal that acts as a spring/pressure to keep the clip in place.

squeaky sliding glass andersen door
I have a sliding glass andersen door that opens to an atrium. It has become very squeaky when opening and/or closing. Does this mean I need to replace the rollers or can I just oil it? Do I have to take the door off to oil the roller if that is a solution?

First inch very tight
Unique I recently installed a pair of S380 channel balances from Swisco.com. The installation went well, and the balances are ALMOST working properly. The bottom one-inch of movement, up or down, is very difficult. Once I clear that, it's very smooth. The markings on the prior balances read ... (cont.)

Double hung window (coil) sash
I'm not sure I'm using the correct terms, but this is the sash in the frame of the window on the left side (if you're facing the window). The plastic piece at the bottom is split. I didn't take the piece out of the window frame because I was afraid of what might happen with the coil balance. The ... (cont.)
