Repairing a Vinyl Window

If your window does not stay up or is hard to open this video may show you how to fix the issue.

Thank you. My pivot shoes are destroyed and as you know RUclips is full of videos of brand new windows that don't need repair. That is a great way to get them out.

Glad to help

You are the best teacher! Every homeowner must see your lecture. Don’t get tired teaching us about home repair. Thank you.

Great step by step instructional video. A major tip in this video that I have not seen anyplace else is the raising of one side of the pivot shoe higher than the other one, to replace the window. Thank you sir, I had been struggling with that part.

Thanks for watching.

Sometimes a little knowledge goes a long way. My friend is selling his house and half the windows have this problem. He had serious anxiety thinking he was going to have to replace them completely... Subscribed!!!!!

[@funbro1]

If you can acquire the parts it will save you a ton of $$$$$. Thanks for watching.

This video is beyond words can explain helpful. I was going to replace my windows but they are perfectly fine except I believe the spiral springs are damaged. So glad yoy posted this video

grab hold of the shoe with channel locks and soften the vinyl with a heat gun. that way there is no danger of cutting too deep or i the wrong spot

[@rickhaupt1895]

Great explanation! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching.

[@karenflowers9711]

many videos and phone calls to parts stores later, I found your video.. Thank you!! Do you recommend an online parts store for replacement parts? I have several windows that need an overhaul.

[@karenflowers9711]

Scrolled down, asked, and answered. Thanks again. I love your generosity

[@funbro1]

Thanks for watching.

[@Runningmanshot]

Great video for sure, however how do you cover up the cut out you made on the frame at the top? Is there a generic balance cover one can use if there isnt one there now?

[@funbro1]

The cut out part was so minimal that the cover for the balance will cover most of the cut out. I did not do anything to cover up that part at all. Thanks for watching.

[@deanbell1312]

Thanks so much. Well done and save me the $2K they were quoting me for a new window.

[@funbro1]

Yes, saving money is great! Thanks for watching.

[@trankt54155]

$2K for one double hung vinyl window? Really?

Where can you get the parts?

[@funbro1]

I am fortunate to live in an area that has a few window companies that deal in parts and have a lot of people with much knowledge. Try online if you don't know of a place nearby. Thanks for watching.
