    Brilliant! Thank you so much for posting this!! Put in new dual pane windows about 2 years ago now and been stressing out every time I try to get screens out to clean the windows, and give up. WHO KNEW I could just lift the windows out of the tracks. YOU are a life saver. Still couldn't get screens out but cleaned all my windows and tracks today, and just brushed down the screens. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

    Thank you! We recently moved to this house, it's monsoon season, and the storms are pounding a large window with two sliders. The tracks get a LOT of water. After watching this I'm ready to take out the sliders, remove the track, and make sure the weep holes are clean. Thanks again!

      Hey Bruce, glad it helped. Let me know if the holes were blocked and if you were able to get through the rains! Subscribe and share. Any other videos I can make to help out let me know, always looking for new ideas...

    Thanks. That was so helpful. After three years I finally got the window out and felt like an idiot for not being able to see that the clip on the left of my window looks completely different from the clip on the right, so much so, that I didn't even know there was a clip on the right. Once I got that, the window just came out effortlessly. Can't take out a window but can get dinner on the table for 6 in less than an hour.

    Hey thank you for the educational video! My college age son closed his window too hard and took it off the track. They are new windows to me so I didn't know what to do? Your easy to follow instructions were on point! Had no problem at all poping the window back on the track! Also at a later time I'll be cleaning the tracks the way you did yours. Glad I found your video.

    Thank you. That helped a lot. However, I have a sliding window, a left stationery pane in the middle and then the third pane seems to be on its track. Being that this is on the 2nd floor, is there a way to remove the middle pane -- there is a lot of debris -- dead leaves, bugs, etc.?

    Is there a way to remove the fixed side of the window? Have a couch that wont make a 90 degree turn down the stairs.

    • @MRoberson68
      @MRoberson68  Год назад

      Michael, sorry for the late comment. No, there is no way to remove the fixed side yourself. A window/glass installer can but it's not a normal thing to do to clean a window. There are other options like magnetic tools used to clean the outside as it tracks with he inside tool. Research other cleaning tools for windows, but I would avoid trying to remove the window.

    • @MRoberson68
      @MRoberson68  Год назад

      Hey Debbie, sorry for the late response. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. When you pulled out the track it was pressed in and came out tight. When you re-install it you have to drop it in tilted and then push it down from one side to the other. It snaps in, if it's warped then it has not snapped in the grove yet. I hope tis helps out.

      @MRoberson68  6 месяцев назад

      Sorry for the late response. You can’t remove the fixed side only the active side. The fixed side can be removed if broken but by a professional. Not usually removed for cleaning purposes.

    I’ve watched several of these videos, I don’t have any trouble getting my windows out, but I have one that I just cannot get back in. I think I’ve used just about every single expletive I know.
    I got all the other ones back in, but this one is stubborn ass hack. I guess that’s what happens when you buy from budget windows

    The bottom track warped.
    And there's kissing bugs trying to live underneath the track. Dead ones and live ones ugh.

    • @MRoberson68
      @MRoberson68  Год назад

      Kissing bugs sound sweet! Even if the track cover warped, i'd be surprised if you can't get it back in. If not, you can order a plastic track cover from your local window dealer especially if it's Milgard. You might have to go to Home Depot if it's Jeldwen or another brand.
