In a few of the windows that I managed to force up, the red tip was shattered. There's grease everywhere. The windows are marked 198 ... (cont.)

MW vinyl tilt window, spiral balances.
I have 5 MW bottom tilt windows, house built in 1998, that need new spiral balances. The length of the balance top to bottom is 47.5" and the white cover over the coil is 31". I understand there is a tool to help install the balances and I would like that also.

Our windows are tilt-ins. The old balances (which look like S600's, have the same double-pin ends and go into a pivot shoe like the model 15-046) are 5/8" X 31", with green tips. Problem is, I can't find the green-tipped ones on your web site. I weighed the bottom window and it's 17.8 lbs. We are ... (cont.)
