Question: I have successfully replaced the ropes on double hung windows before, but now I'm faced with windows that have the weights on the same side. In other words, the right-hand rope-pulley-weight is conventional, but the left hand rope goes up, then across the top of the window and down the right side to a second weight. Do I have to disassemble the whole window frame to replace this rope?
