86window/torsion bar
I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but Ive searched the archives and couldnt find it. MY WINDOW BROKE! SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES!
Ive got a new one on the way but do not want to install it untill I am sure what broke the first one. what happened: I was trying to put it back up and it got about half way when it seemed to have gotten jammed. I brought it back down and then up same thing. I think the window was going up uneven.anyways after it broke I checked the mechanics over and everything seemed to be in place EXCEPT for one of the rollers and the short torsion bar(latch down to gate body)were laying amongst the glass in the bottom. can someone please tell me what this torsion bar does? The tab where it attaches to the latch is rusted gone leaving me unable to use it. what do I risk by not reusing it? also if you had to bet what would you say caused the window to break? THANX
