Do you have a complete vinyl window assembly or just vinyl replacement
sashes? The problem you described sounds like poorly installed
replacement sashes. Trying to improve the situation may be nearly
impossible by jiggering the framing. Consider getting some quotes from
a reputable contractor for remedies, then decide the best cpourse of
action. Good luck.
