Which pivot lock shoe do I need for an Owens Corning Window? The window model is LOW-E ARGON. And, what is the best way to swap it out with minimal damage to the frame?

I also need to replace some of the vent latches. I measured the hole at 7/16" x 2-7/16". I'm thinking your "Product Code: 26-148" will work, unless you recommend a different one for my Owens Corning windows.

I'm afraid I don't know what pivot shoe you need. The best match will depend on dimensions, but you didn't mention size. Can you tell me what the exact thickness of your pivot shoe is?

Concerning the vent latch, I will need a photo of your original in order to find the best option.

Finally, the video below should help you remove the shoe from the window.

I've watched your videos on how to replace the balance shoe but I'm not sure if the procedure for removing/installing it on an Owens Corning fiberglass window is the same. I've removed the bottom sash and see the damaged balance shoes but I'm not sure if you use the cutout method.

Hello! I see nothing about your shoe or window that would change the removal procedure. You should be able to remove your pivot shoe the same way you would any other.
