Older home we just purchased, don't think windows had been opened in a very long time. When opened and tilted in to clean most of these were broken or broke when I tilted window.

Thanks for writing in. This is called a pivot shoe. Your exact one is no longer made, but our 15-177 should replace it. These shoes connect with Series 152 Coil Balances, which help regulate the movement of the window. Let me know if you have further questions.

See the video below, which shows how to remove a different but similar coil balance assembly. The same principles should apply. Let me know if you have further questions.
