Removing the Window

Step 1 Locate and unlock tilt latches

Step 2 Slide window up past interior sill

Step 3 Dislodge window from frame

Step 4 Remove window

Step 1 Locate the balance blocks

Now that you have cleaned your windows you are ready to put them back in their frames. Start by locating the left and right balance blocks. The balance blocks will be at the same location that your window was pivoting from when you initially removed them. The balance blocks are made of plastic but have a metal square hole in the middle of them.

Step 2 Locate the pivot bars

Now that you have located the balance blocks, locate the left and right pivot bars. To find the pivot bars look at the bottom of your window for two metal pieces jutting out on either side. 

Step 3 Align pivot bars and balance lack

To begin the re-attaching process hold your window at its base, close to the two pivot bars. You will notice that the pivot bars are the same shape as the square holes in the balance blocks. Turn your window at a 45-degree angle and line up the pivot bars with balance blocks. Start by lowering the left pivot bar into the left balance block, and then lower the right pivot bar down into the right balance block. 

Step 4 Latching and attaching the window

With a flashlight inspect that both pivot bars are snuggly inside of both balance blocks and not underneath them. Once you have confirmed this, take hold of your window at its top where the tilt latches are located, and push the window away from your body towards the frame. You should hear a latching noise from the tilt latches if the window has been re-attached correctly.
