Black plastic slide

Question

Can you tell me what the black rectangular slide is at the bottom of the window?  I have several broken ones and need to replace them.

That black piece is the slide for the hinge assembly. It's not sold separately, unfortunately, and if yours are broken then you need an all new hinge set.

We don't sell your exact style but our 36-048 should work just fine, as long as you replace the top and bottom at the same time. You never want to mix old and new hinges.

The video below will go into more detail as to how these work.
