Replacement Guide

I am in need of the plastic part shown in the attached photo. It goes to a Visions 2000 Weather Shield window installed back in 1995. I think it might be called a multi-point lock tie bar guide (fingers crossed on that one). If you can help me, I would like to know how much the part would cost and if it is in stock.

Thank you!

Thank you for contacting us. You were right on the money! These are known as tie bar guides It looks like our 39-417 may work for you. Let us know what you think.

That looks pretty darn close! One more question: The measurement of the two outer holes on my tie bar guide is 15/16" from center hole to center hole. Your replacement guide shows to be 3/4". Are you sure that your guide will still fit as a replacement? Thanks so much for your help with this!

Yep, it should work. The manufacturer changes the style of these tie bar guides every couple years. I couldn't tell you why, I guess they keep trying to save on production costs. The way these work is pretty simple, though. The placement of the "hook" that wraps around the long tie bar itself doesn't have to be precise, even though the holes are a little off, as long as it's gripping the same general area you should be okay.
