Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Jun 01, 2023 2:14 pm hi, We have some old windows that dont slide smoothly. Looking at the rollers they have flats pots on them. I cant see a way to pop out the roller mechanism. The only screw on the side is the one that holds the frame together. The rollers dont seem to be adjustable either. It is possible to pop out just the wheel and axle, but I've been unable to find anything online. Can anyone advise on what can be done? Is it possible to get the whole plastic roller mechanism out? Or just replace the rollers etc?

Just put a flat blade screwdriver under it and lever up. It looks like a captive pin in the whole plastic fitting. Bunnings has quite a range of replacement window parts including rollers so I'll nce it's out you should be able to take it with you and see if there is a replacement part available. Or if you know the brand of windows you could call the manufacturer. They normally have spares unless it is an old style that they no longer carry.
