Hi, I was hoping to find out any info on this part and a compatible replacement. The top cracked and no longer holds the window in place. I have been looking around and I haven't seen anything close to this specific latch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reaching out! There is a chance that we can provide a replacement latch, however, I'll need a bit more information to confirm. I'd like to see a photo of an undamaged latch and how it functions in the window.

Are you able to provide a photo of an undamaged latch?

This is the same latch installed in a different window. It's in the same right side position.

Thanks for the photo, it helps a great deal. We do not have an internal latch replacement we can recommend to you, unfortunately.

However, the good news is that you can convert this window to one that uses a surface-mounted tilt latch, which is fairly easy. Take a look at the video below for an idea of what you would need to do to covert you window to one with a surface-mounted latch.
