I have vinyl windows that I had installed about 17-18 years ago. I have no records of type or installer. I could not find any indentifier on windows. I have two windows that do not stay up. The counter balance springs need repair or more likely replacemet. I cannot get them to stay connected to keep window up. Here is a picture of one of the them. Do you have replacements? Also, I believe there is a tensioning tool I would need to install replacements

I'll order the blue tip since the old ones are blue. Do basic instructions come with balance or is there something on your website I can refer to?

You will need the 75-006 charging tool to adjust your new spiral balances to your window. Here is a guide on how to charge spiral balances for tilt windows. Here is a discussion with a nice explanation on how to perform the initial charge of the spiral balance.
