The tilt latch on my Pella Fiberglass window, is stuck and will not move, as a result the window cannot be tilted in. Any idea how I can fix that. I will change the tilt latch if I can remove the old one.
Thank you.

Can you show me a picture of it? That will help us come up with a solution.

We never received any pictures from this homeowner. If you would like to post pictures of your latch, we could try to continue identifying the part!

Thank you! This reminds me of our 26-243 and 26-244, but these are not commonly used in Pella windows. I'm also now sure how this compares in terms of size. That said, they're at least a good place to start. I would recommend removing yours from the window and comparing your dimensions to those we show for the 26-243 and 26-244 to confirm.
