Hi SWISCO team,
I'm looking to identify and purchase replacement sliding window roller/guide housings for a 1960s-era "dingbat" apartment building with aluminum sliding windows in Southern California.
The part is a small nylon/plastic roller housing clip that sits in the bottom track of the sliding window sash.
Caliper measurements:
Width: ~0.550"
Depth: ~0.470"
Smaller channel dimension: ~0.315"
Overall height: ~0.850"
I've attached photos of the part from multiple angles along with caliper measurements. No visible manufacturer markings on the window frames.
I need to replace several of these across multiple windows. Could you help identify this part and point me to the right replacement?
Thanks, Christian
