Check a good local hardware store or glass shop.
Check he

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube,
then
they come up with this striped stuff.

My house has windows which ride up against two metal frames. Within
the
frames, for each window, there are spring loaded clips on which the
windows
ride. The spring clips hold the window up at any point along the
track.
One of the clips has broken, so that the window does not stay up at any
point. I think the spring is also screwed up behind the frame.
Can this unit be repaired? Can the clip be repaired or does the frame
have
to be replaced? These windows are 31 years old and I wonder if the
frames
are even available. What kind of store would carry these frames?
Any advice as to next steps? The window is one of six in the front of
the
house so the idea of replacing one entire window unit is not desirable.
Thanks for your help.
