Hello, I was hoping to figure out a way to fix my Vinyl windows without replacing them. My townhouse has vinyl casement windows and some of the screws are stripped out. I was hoping to find a way to fix this without replacing the whole window. I did find online where some people suggested filling the holes with epoxy and then re drilling the holes, the only issue I had with this was the holes just go into the frame of the window, it's not a threaded hole so I wasn't sure how well the expoxy would hold. I also found where one person drilled the holes bigger and used rivet inserts however due to the design of the mechanism that opens the window I have little room for adding anything because it will prevent the window from opening, this is also what is preventing me from using larger screws as the bigger screw has a bigger head, even with the bevel, that prevents the arm from passing over another part of the window mechanism. Just curious if anyone had any advice on what would be the best solution. One thing I was wondering if I could do is just flip the window and re drill all new holes. Thanks in advance
