Old window guides

Question

3 pieces we need, The little piece on the top of the window, One is on each side and I believe that keeps the window in the guide.  Then there is a twisted wire inside the Guide with a little piece down at the bottom which I believe holds the window up.  Right now when you slide the window up it does not stay up.  We thought perhaps if we replaced the chain guide and the 2 plastic pieces, The windows would work correctly

Hello there!

Your tilt latch looks similar to our 26-088P but I recommend comparing your dimensions with ours to confirm this matches what you're looking for.

The twisted wire hardware is called a spiral balance, and if this is a tilt window I recommend our 3/8" diameter Series 900 or 5/8" diameter Series 600. The part it's connected to at the bottom is called a pivot shoe. We can help with that but we would need to see an undamaged version removed from the window along with the written out thickness and width dimensions.
