RE: [VAC] Window Operators
The little nylon slides for the early Hehr windows are called "shoes" for
some reason. I got what Inland said were the last they had a few years ago
and used them up. Key to smooth operation is to have slight tension in the
track to slide up and down. I have found a poor substitite, but better than
none: cut a small dowel to just fit the width of the track and put it
through the hole in the lever. Keeps the two attached, but "bounces" on
closing. I imagine some soft plastic would work but have not found another
solution yet. Any ideas that work better?? -Martin, 60-22ft.
