On the larger windows (or where there's a risk that breakage might occur
during removal, we won't risk taking sliders out.  Customers are usually
pretty understanding if you explain the situation to them.  In that

installed properly they can seem to "disappear".  Avoid the pink magnets
though...  :-))

He'll email the method to you.  I personally don't see Anderson Windows here
in Vancouver, BC.  We have Pella, which sound to be constructed much the
same way.
