Left-Side latch

HI there, the latch on my window will no longer retract so I can swing the window down to clean the exterior. I believe it's this part, but would like confirmation.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting, Brian. I don't think the 26-266 is what you want for your window. The 26-408 looks like a better option at first glance.

Your next step should be to remove the original from the window and take careful measurements. Then, review our dimensions, which I will share below, to verify.
