This part broke you can see in the 2nd picture

Thanks for writing in. This is called a pivot bar. Specifically, this looks like a Simonton window one that is no longer made. Simonton created the 26-336 as a replacement before they went out of business. Note that the 26-336 works for some customers who had the same older pivot bar you had, but for others there seems to be issues. I can't say for sure then whether it will work for you, but it's the closest match we have. Take a look and see what you think. There may be an alternative solution, but to determine this, please send me a picture of the pivot shoe (the nylon block in the window track with a metal cam that the pivot bar fits into).

Hey there, Bob's not here today but I can help you from here on.

Regarding the pivot bar, Bob is right in that our 26-336 is the best option available. Simonton actually made this specifically to replace the old design you had, but unfortunately it's still not a perfect fit for some older pivot shoes. What will happen is that the front tip will be too fat to fit in the cam of the pivot shoe.

In those situations I find that grinding down the "collar" on the front tip helps it fit into the shoe. So if you find that the 26-336 isn't fitting properly, that's one possible solution. It's a little extra work, and you won't be able to return a part altered in such a way, but it does the trick in my experience.

We have a ton of tricks up our sleeve for this window, too. Even though the old parts aren't made anymore, I don't think you'll need to replace the windows anytime soon. We'll take care of you.
