In the window side channel where it goes, at the top, there's a hole where the spiral balance is screwed onto, except that the screw hole is square. I think a plastic square peg with round screw hole was fitted there which is n ... (cont.)

I recently bought my house and notice that several windows no longer remain open without support. When I took the window sash out I noticed that most of them had broken pivot shoes.
