Need to replace tilt latch

I have several 20 year old Home Depot vinyl windows that have broken tilt latches. The latches will not slide out for replacement. The end is welded/glued to the sash. I think I need a slim top mount latch but need help picking the correct one.

Thanks,
David

Hi David, thank you for posting,

To further review, do you have an undamaged latch that we could see? I am trying to see the style of the lever part that is missing from your photos. Let me know!

Thank you for the additional pictures,

Please review the overall style and dimensions of the 26-408 tilt latch pair to see how they compare to your originals. Take a look at the installation video below for removal tips. Let us know what you think and if you have any additional questions.
