internal tilt latches

Home Owner from San Francisco, CA
I have at least three vinyl single hung windows manufactured by American Window Company and purchased/installed in 1995. The internal tilt latches are broken on some of them so they can be be a safety risk if unlocked and/or in the raised position.

I have no pictures with the parts removed.

I don't know how I would go about replacing them because they are internal, or if you have parts that would fit. I'm pretty good at this stuff, but don't want to fool around with it unless I have some advice.

Thanks for your time and expertise.

Hello,

I would recommend removing an undamaged tilt latch to compare to the dimensions shown on the 26-243 and 26-244 product pages. If you notice any discrepancies, please write out your exact measurements and we can go from there. Thank you.
