My Top Sash Guide doesn't match anything you have

Question

Dear Swisco

I am about to order a couple of balances. I also need a couple of sash guides and did not see a picture like what I have. It is 5/8" width and just over 1 11/16 long. See pic, do you have guides that will fit. I dont mind if I have to modify for it to work as long as I am only removing material.

thank you,
Robert

Hey, Robert. I've run across your top sash guide many times. The bad news is that it's no longer made and I don't think it will be easy to find an exact match. The good news is that our 18-171 is a great replacement and should work for you. The only catch is that you have to cut the top down to size, since it won't fit under the top window cap as-is. Let me know what you think of this solution.
