Marvin Integrity doube-hung window screen pins

Question

Hi, folks. The screen pins in our double-hung Marvins take a beating in direct sun and the plastic snapped in one this summer. Is one of the parts you show at https://www.swisco.com/plunger-pin-7-32/pd/Replacement-Pins-For-Screen_Storm-Panels/70-008 the replacement part I need?

Thank you for the detective work with photos! Very cool service.

And sending a shout-out to NJ! I grew up in north Jersey (in Fanwood, which is near Elizabeth). The house I need the parts for is in Connecticut. I'm writing from Michigan. Cheers from the midwest.

Hello, from sunny New Jersey! I think the 70-008 is definitely very close to your original, but it will ultimately come down to size. Unfortunately, I can't quite make out the diameter of your pin from that ruler. The other possibility we have is the 70-009, whose pin size is only slightly different. It's a small difference but it's enough to render them incompatible. I do think it will be one of these two, I'm just not sure which.
