    Thank you! I'm 77 years-old and my daughter and I were able to repair her bedroom window with your instructions. You were more helpful than the folks at Harvey Windows!

    Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I bought this home a year ago with Harvey windows. I cleaned them in the spring and had no issue with them as far as not staying up, but then just a week ago I cleaned them again for fall cleaning and one of them would not stay up. You're tutorial made it an absolute breeze to fix it in less than a minute. Thanks again.

    You are AWESOME I have been worried about having to pay someone to come fix this and I knew it was my fault when cleaning the windows. I watched your
    video and fixed the two windows in less than 10 minutes THANKS SO MUCH Easy to do even for a 67 year young lady LOL

    Wow, this was an excellent explanation of how to fix the window. My wife cleaned the windows and two of them would not stay open. This video not only makes it clear how to fix the problem (takes about 1-2 minutes), but how to avoid the problem in the future when cleaning them.

    Thanks so much! I struggled, but finally got it. This video saved me from having to call the repairman who never shows up -- and saved me money and aggravation, too. It was also helpful to know the cause -- other similar videos didn't seem to cover this point.

    Thanks Doug your instruction video was perfect we fixed two windows which had separated one mechanism on each window. We will call your company if we change out any of our windows or need repairs. Again, thanks so much!

    Thank you thank you thank you... yours was the 3rd attempt to find the same kind of Harvey window I have. Mine a bit bigger than the ones here but this senior citizen made it happen. I've been cleaning them for years without this happening but glad to find the solution. Thanks again.

    Thanks for the video. We have a set of Vantage Series 6500 windows thru Home Depot. They don't have the side component spring loaded. Instead, you push them up with a tool. One side of our window was out of the pivot channel. We were able to take it out and after much wrangling and putting a minor gash in the inner frame, got it back in and working as it should! Thanks again for the instruction.

    I can't see where the pivot bar would be for the UPPER window, which drops like a rock.

    Funny how nobody talks about the top one not staying up.

  • @laurar8486
    @laurar8486 Před 11 měsíci

    As soon as I turn it back to u-shape it stops working. What am I doing wrong?

    • @laurar8486
      @laurar8486 Před 11 měsíci

      It only works if I keep it in a turned position but then I can't lock the window. As soon as I put it in the u shape it it locks up again and will not move.
