Does the 87-093 axle or roller turn in the window frame?
When opening or closing the window, does the 87-093 axle turn in the window frame or does the axle remain stationary and the roller turns on the axle, i.e. does the axle turn or only the roller? Your assistance would be appreciated. Many thanks.
