Spiral balance replacement
Hey guys! I purchased a home that was built in 2002. All the windows are very heavy to open or will not stay up. As much as I would love to replace them I feel that I would get better bang for my buck rebuilding them with quality parts. What do I need to repair them?

This is part 15-179 Pivot Lock Shoe, 9/16"
I am wanting a more durable replacement. This is the exact correct part but it "self destructs" after 5 years. See the attached picture. Before (new) and after (5 years old).

Window parts needed
The metal part that secures the window holder to the spiral balance are either worned or broken. I need 12 replacement metal parts. If you only sell the whole piece will need how to replace existing unless it's just bending the vinvyl just enough to replace the whole piece.
