thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience in this DIY project. I have several windows like this I need to fix.

Cecilia Andrus - Antwort

Thanks for this. One of mine seems to have stripped out. Opens fully, but won’t pull the window fully closed. I’ll replace the gear box.
