Hi there!

I can't quite make out your top fitting. We can help but I'd like to see a clear and up close picture of your top fitting to determine a replacement option.

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
Here are the close ups of the bottom and top guides.

Perfect! I recommend our S350-34 channel balance with the 3350 strength option. Review the specifications and let me know if you had any questions.

Thank you so much for your help.
I did order the balances that you recommended. During the installation, one of the top sash guides broke.
Could you please help me select the correct one to order a replacement?

Sure, we sell a ton of different top sash guides so there's a good chance we have what you need. The bad news is that the S350-34 that Emily recommended is compatible with almost all of them. Right now you could have anything.

Before we make a recommendation, I'd like you to remove an undamaged version of the original guide and show me a clear photo of it from the front and side. Think of it like a mugshot. From there, I will do my best to track down a compatible replacement.

Thank you!

Great, thanks for the additional photos. This looks like our 18-009 to me but look over the dimensions and compare them with yours to see if you agree.

Perfect, thank you so much! This is exactly what we needed to see.

Based on these photos I think our best option is going to be the 18-009. However, you should review our dimensions just to ensure that they all match up. That way you can be 100% sure. Review our diagram below and if our measurements differ in any way, just let me know how and we can work from there!
