arenotadjustable
(some windows use
rollers instead of glide
buttons; these rollers
arenotadjustable).

raising or lowering
the glide buttons as
follows.
1.Removesash.

4. Turn counterclockwise to raise the sash.
5.Replacesash.
Important Note! Adjusting glide buttons too high will increase risk of
air/water leaks. Adjusting the buttons too low can cause sash to drag
on lower track. Ideal adjustment for sash is as low as possible but
just high enough to avoid drag. Keep the stiles parallel to frame. One
glide button may need to be raised and one lowered. Check by almost
closing the sash and looking for an even, parallel gap.
