The first part of this video worked for me. I am grateful.
Oh my god!!! Tow of my smaller windows out of commission. I followed your instructions on the first window. Thank you. This worked! Clutch feet at the bottom, just as described. This happened about 2 years after installation. I called my long-time contractor to come over and look at the situation. He did not immediately know how to fix it. Thank god I found your video. Now I have to figure out the other one
Laura - we are glad to hear that this video helped you with your windows! Thank you for sharing your experience.
I officially love that man. Now I'll have to wait for warmer weather to attempt to fix my window. TY
You are very welcome. We are happy that we were able to help!
I cleaned my windows without opening them first. My husband was not happy. This video helped me shut him up. Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for this video and explaining the fix so simply. The clutch feet were at the bottom and I fixed in about 3 minutes. Thanks again.
You are very welcome! We are glad we could help.
Thank you! Thank you! Two of my Integrity windows have been pains (no pun intended) for years. Thanks to this video, I was able to get them working better. In seconds! Thanks!
We are forever grateful. Thank you for teaching me how to fix our window!
Excellent! Great explanation, and well filmed (the closeups help immensely). Thanks.
Perfect explanation and simple fix. I love these windows! Best double hung on the market!
Perfect demonstration/explanation.
Yes! I struggled with this problem and your video made it so simple to fix. Thank you!
You are welcome. Glad to hear this video helped!
How did you get those 2 little plastic ears on the left and right side of the inside sash to retract to get the sash to tilt out?
Thank you! Fixed it myself!
Thank you VERY MUCH!
Will this work on Marvin Tilt packs too?
When I tried to move the clutch my screwdriver slipped and the clutch snapped up with great violence and I think something might have broken inside because there is no tension on the clutch anymore on the one side. Is there a video for repair this? How would I name a search to find some? thanks so much. I really need help on this one!!
Dale - Sorry to hear about your window! Tension is definitely needed when resetting the clutch feet otherwise this will happen. If the clutch went up and there is still tension, sometimes you can bring it back down. However it sounds like you might have damaged/broken your balance tube. This is typically handled by our service team. If you purchased your windows through us (Windows & Doors By Brownell) please call in to our service team at 802-862-4800. If this window was not purchased through us, please either call your Marvin window retailer OR find the one closest to you by searching www.marvin.com under "Find a Dealer".
Thank you.
Glad we could help. Thank you for watching!
This is NOT a clutch foot repair or replacement video. This is only an adjustment video.
Steve, you have some helpful videos. Almost all of my cudh windows have lost the head jamb part stop. Windows were put in about 29 years ago. They’ve been laying on each sill for a few years as I try to figure out the part and then how to replace it. I had a similar issue with door weatherstripping but I finally figured that out. I cannot figure out how to remove the old jamb part stops (and many of them are 2nd floor windows). I’m hoping I can do it from inside but I think I know where it is. Do you have any videos on this and other parts. I know they want people to call service but that seems absurd for some of this....like the foamy cube that sits under the inner sash).
Hello Trish - I'm glad you have found our videos helpful.
Here is a list of other of our "Quick Fix" videos on TH-cam. There is a video in there that covers replacing weatherstrip.

If you have additional service questions we do always recommend contacting the dealer in which you purchased the windows from. Check out marvin.com to find the dealer closest to you. If these windows were purchased from Windows & Doors By Brownell, please call our main line at 800-773-4803 and ask for the Service Department.
I hope this helps! Best of luck with your windows.
Thanks saw this one. It didn’t cover the head jam strip. It took me a minute to figure out how to replace the weather strip on the outside doors to and when I did, it was amazingly doable for a DIY type. I’ll keep looking and appreciate the response.
@@Dishpjl We will add that suggested video to our list of how-to videos to make!
If you are unable to find what you are looking for online, it's best to contact your local dealer with any further Marvin related questions. Check out marvin.com to find the dealer closest to you. The support staff from your local Marvin dealer will be able to provide further detailed instructions.
Do you have a video, or can you do one, for replacing the balancing tubes of a Marvin double hung?
Thanks.
I found one at your tube. Just type out "Marvin - Double Hung Balance Tube Replacement" - good luck
My clutch doesn't look like that. There is no where to insert the screwdriver.
Hi Anna - We don't have a video for this yet, but are hoping to have one done this Fall. In the meantime please feel free to call us at 800-773-4803 or visit one of our showrooms for advice on balance tube replacement.
