Easy DIY Upgrade: Say Goodbye to Stuck Windows with Track Replacement

Removing the Old Window and Track

To begin your DIY window track installation, you'll first need to remove the affected window. This typically involves unlocking it, lifting the sash out of the frame, or carefully prying it open if it’s sealed shut. Once the window sash is removed, you can access the old track. Most tracks are secured with screws, which can be loosened with a screwdriver or drill. Once removed, take time to clean the area thoroughly. Old adhesive, dust, and paint residue should be scraped away to ensure the new track will fit snugly and operate smoothly.
