    Sorry, man, but unless you know how to make a vinyl window sash to replace the one that's busted then you're stuck. You could always start a company that manufactures third party replacement parts for old vinyl windows. It seems there might be a market for it.

    And they don't have to do anything if they don't wanna!

    No, it's a vinyl window sash, I need the whole complete sash, not just a part for it.

    Like I said in the OP, I have a single hung window, not double hung, and I have no problem removing it. We already swapped out the bad sash with the one in the spare room so we can at least have the functioning window downstairs where we need it. We never open the window in the spare room.
