A.C. installations in Vinyl windows

I'm asking for suggestions/opinions on installing Air Conditioners in my double hung 36"x36" vinyl windows. The units are around 60-65 pounds,10k btu. I am uneasy about just resting the units on the vinyl sashes. Anybody have any thoughts on this ?

Thanks

You can rest it on the inside lip of the vinyl main frame and support it also on the outside with some blocks of wood. If you have the space, you can put some wood down the inside also to raise it a bit off the vinyl frame. If you do that, you can use some foam tape to close the gap between the a/c and the vinyl frame.

Thanks. That sounds good to me. I also didn't want to screw in any way to the window.
