I used this video to replace mine and it was a big help. Two bits of
feedback though: 1. You didn’t mention that this is only applicable to
Anderson windows (which I have) and 2. You edited out the removal of the
top molding, so one second it’s there and the next it’s removed. I found
that I had to pry the top of the molding away slightly to release the top
plastic cover panel and gain access to the balancers.

Replacement for one window manufacturer… each window manufacturer seems
to have their own system and hardware…
