I went to open the window this morning and it would only go up a couple of inches. lifting out the window I could see that the coil had snapped. I need recommendations on what size brand etc. I would need to buy to replace it. I guess I'll be youtubing to learn how to do it!

I think you for all of your help ahead of time.

Hey Mickey. I have a feeling this is a 15-186 Clip used with the Series 190 Coil Balances and the 15-180 Pivot Shoe, but if these parts don't look right please show us your window's pivot shoe.

wow that looks exactly like what I need! Thank you so much for your help and I'll let you know how the replacement goes. Would you suggest doing both @ the same time?

Yes, if you're replacing all the balance components on one side its generally best to do both. Otherwise, the new balance parts can wear down faster while working with older counterparts.
