The other day my towel rack broke, i.e. the bar itself, where you hang the towel. Our house was built in 1960, so the towel bar holding thingies are made out of tile and attached to the surrounding tiles via grout, as far as I can tell. We don't really want to remove them, as they are "glued" over more than one tile and we are fairly sure we'll never find the same kind of underlying tile again, if we damage it. So what I am looking for is a towel bar that has some kind of spring in it, so I could push it together, wedge it into the tile holding thingies (No, I don't want to sound cutesy, but I have no clue how those things are called.) and the spring would release and hold the bar securely in place. I kind of know they exist, because I have talked to associates in stores, who said they existed, but that their store stopped carrying them. (And of course they had no clue as to where to get them.) I live in VA and I have already checked Lowe's, Walmart and Target. I have also searched the internet, but without success. If anybody knows where to find a towel bar with springs, please tell me. or if anybody knows how to build anything that could take its place, please let me know too. Thanks! Jen
