Coil balances
Hello, i have vinyl replacement windows from the previous owner. I have no idea what brand the windows are. I can not find labels anywhere. Both coil balancer coils have broken. I weighed the window and it is about 20 pounds.

Certainteed S170-409
The S170-409 is the closest part I could find on your website. The photo and dimensions match perfectly, however, my springs are stamped 410 vs 409. Actually they are stamped 410 and SK underneath that number. If the 410 is not available perhaps the 409 would work. Thank you
