Howdy,
We have some very old double-hungs in our house. During the reno we redid all the weights and cords, but they are still a bit loose in their frame (back and forth). When the wind blows and they are open, they tend to rattle around a bit. Any words of wisdom on how to tighten them up a bit?
Thanks and cheers!

(edit:) By back and forth I mean the thickness of the window is less than the thickness of the groove it rides in.
In older homes like these, the main remodeling goal is often a more welcoming, more social, and more functional kitchen.
