I am trying to figure out how to increase the friction on the hinge of
the window so they stay open. I open them about 90degrees then gently
let them back down.. I have one that will remain open about 18 inches
and the other closes down to 6 inches.

May be worn hardware at the pivot point or it may be operator handle
gears. Don't really know from here on Usenet.

Something is allowing it to close.... "hardware worn out".

Try the UK DIY group. harry can help you.

Many hinges have an adjustable friction device.
Check to see if there is a screw on the sliding part of the hinge that
can be tightened to increase the friction.

Remount the window so that bottom sticks out some or top
sticks in some or both you solve the problem!!!
