I have Anderson double pane windows about 40 years-of-age. They raise and lower with very taut strings concealed in the top. How do you repair when the strings break?

Get on their site [url=http://www.andersenwindows.com] They are very good with service items, but a 40 yr old window might stump them. Let us know how you do.

Andersen made primed double hung windows from 1962-1970 and the Permashield from 1968 to the present. Parts are available for almost anything that they manufactured. Go to the website that Bill has posted and get the information in the corner of the glass and measure the glass area that you can see. This is the instruction for replacing the balance. http://www.andersenwindows.com/servl...&ssbinary=true
