I do not have pictures of the lift rail but it is white and the demensions are 1/16 x 3/4 x 28 1/8". The attached pictures are for the glazing strip. The piece itself is 24 1/2" long.

Is there a AAMA sticker on the window that identifies the window manufacturer? If so, could you please provide that to us? May we also see the part in the sash?

From what I found the manufacturer went out of business in 2012.

Thanks for the additional information. We do offer a glazing snap-in to hold the glass into the frame for Dove Euro window. Carefully compare yours to our 55-164 and see what you think.

Perfect match from what I can tell, thanks! Any luck on the lift rail or do you need more info?

Sorry for missing that! I was so focused on your pictures I didn't realize you had requested it.

We would need a photo of the lift rail to identify, but to be honest I have a feeling we won't be able to help. The fact you call it a rail makes me think it runs across the entire length of the sash, which is not something we're able to provide.

The only lifts we carry are parts like our 26-116 or 26-174. These may work for you, but it would require drilling new holes and you have to be careful that you don't hit the glass. See what you think.

From looking at the window it seemed to me to be a long shot that the lift rail could be replaced. We went ahead and did some field repairs that should be satisfactory. Thanks a lot for all your help!
