    A neighbor of mine found herself with this exact same situation. Calling me in a panic hoping I could fix the problem, so there I was without any ideas myself. We’re both seniors and whenever I have questions and need help, Utube is my go to. My friend didn’t think I had a prayer let alone finding the solution. After typing in a general description, your video popped up first. Your instructions are on point, and I had her window back in and working in a minute, right after this video played out. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! My friend was amazed, and I looked like a hero and a “Mrs knowitall”!!

    That was a wonderful demonstration. It would be even better if you could give us a close up of how the shoe "looks" especially after it's been properly oriented.

      It's very simple. Just turned the screwdriver very slowly until it releases.

    Thank you so much!!! You saved a marriage lol! Just washed my double hung windows and did not bring the window up properly and it went off track - now I can fix it before my husband gets home - he will never know!! LOL

    That one tidbit of info … lifting the window 5 to 6 inches is gold! For the life of me searching on how to unstick those latches took me over a hour hour. You need to do a video on this single issue. Thanks for your channel 🤩

    Thank you so much, Jim. Last time it happened it cost me $100 - they sent two men! Thank you for the clear instructions. The window is wide and over a sink, so awkward to clean. Will remember 5 inches high in the future. I have subscribed and will like any videos TH-cam suggests from your channel.

    I am here because it's 27 degrees outside and I just popped my window out doing exactly what you described. Now I know better. I tried and tried to put it back in, cold and feeling defeated, I went to TH-cam and put the window back in within minutes. Thank you for the very helpful block of instruction.

  • @cjay233

    This was a huge help. Mine came out and I didn't know what to do. I'm not diy handy at all. After calling everyone, to no avail, I was able to find a screwdriver and fix it myself! Finally...... I CAN do something. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @naomigraychase2648
    @naomigraychase2648 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much! My lower window popped out of the tracks while I was washing it, and the (balance system?) thingies were at uneven levels. One closed and one open. And I couldn't get them to move! And I couldn't quite figure out how to fix it--but your video explained how everything worked so I was able to move them to the same level and get the window back into the tracks. Gosh, what a relief. Thank you so much!!!

After watching I was able to identify the problem and get the window moving again. I appreciate you very much!

    Your video instruction was perfect. As you showed, I managed to pop out the lower window because I didn't raise it high enough. Not knowing how to put it back in I became really frustrated and almost resorted to replacing the whole window. However with your instructions I was able to quickly put the window back into the shoe and all is well. Thank you very much.

    Thank you. I was cleaning my tilt in windows and it popped out of it. The slider piece was wedged and would not move. Finally got it moved up but the metal pin would not go in - it had a rectangle and it took us a while to realize we had to have the window horizontal to get the shapes right! A rectangle will not go into a square until you rotate it - basic toddler stuff. Thank you for helping me not panic and remain calm. I'm a new home owner who has severe anxiety about home repair (Why I will never know..).

    This helped big time today temp falling below freezing and draft can be felt from the window. Only thing wife was helping me put it back in place and layed window on seal without holding it while I looked for a screwdriver and it fell and broke the inner glass. 🤦🏿‍♂️ Thank God its double glassed. Still was able to put it in place for now and seal cold out.

    I followed your instructions for putting the window in, but the pin somehow does not engage into the shoe. When I open the window, one shoe comes up with the window properly, but the other shoe is stuck. It's like the pin didn't properly seat and rotate the shoe to unlock it. I visually inspected the pin and the shoe and everything looks ok, but I can't get it to work right. Any ideas?
