Breaking off the bottom sash frame where the tilt bar fits into, is caused by tilting in a sash without raising the sash first about five inches. When you tilt a sash in close to the sill, it causes pressure on the vinyl frame and it breaks. Patriot Window Company is no longer around,so you will need to somehow repair the sash or buy a new complete replacement window. If you are handy, you might be able to cut a piece a wood, fit it into the gap and screw the pivot bar to that. Hopefully this information has helped you.
