Broken window slide

Question

Hi! I have a few broken window slides (not sure what they're technically called, sorry). I have single hung windows from the 80's that have kind of a pressure latch with tabs (all plastic) that keep the sliding portion aligned with the rails at the sides of the window that both keep the sliding panel in place and allow movement. Can you please tell me what this piece is called, and if replacement pieces are still available? I plan to get the windows replaced at some point, but in the meantime need them to stay shut/in their tracks.

Hi there!

This part is called a tilt latch. Yours in particular resembles the 26-089BP. Review the specifications and see if they match what you need to repair your window.
