I have not found much on rail repair. They are the Florida 3window type (vertical) . And everything I have read and asked about the cranks says throw them out and get new ones

    There's a video here showing how to replace an awning window crank (or "operator"), in this case one compatible with swisco's 39-025 crank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5aX8Jx9jkw It recommends spraying the rails with a silicone-based spray so the windows don't stick. They also mention a discussion website where you can get advice on the specific parts you need to fit your windows.
