This guide is exclusively made for the top of a Capitol sliding window. It not not screwed on, it has a notch already in the window that this guide snaps into.

I am having trouble locating a replacement guide for your Cottage Mobile Home sliding window. If it is possible, send a picture or two of your guide.

What are the measurements? Is the depth and width of the snap in 3/8", and is the top 1/2 and 1/2"?

The width of the 87-087 Capitol window guide is 7/16" by 3/8". I redid the 87-087 product picture so you can see the measurements drawn on the product photo. The 87-087 window guide is for a Capitol series 180 sliding window. The guide snaps on to the top of the window and guides the window in the track.
