You have to pull the sash out far enough to grab the spring. The stop
should be removable. If the jamb has vynil liners , force the sash to
one side,pull towards you on the side you are prying. The sash will pop
out.Replace the plastic with a suitable metal clip.

For the OP.

I think Mike is right but to try and answer your question. Can you make
small hook out of a stiff coat hanger or other wire? Buy or borrow a crochet
hook?
