Right hand casement window track with slide built in

Question

This track has the slide built into and pivots on a small plastic part, (exactly at the corner)
notice photo with red shirt, the end of hinge point on track is raised slightly

Our local suppliers keep trying to give us tracks with slides that hinge about two inces from the end. This results in window hitting the frame before clearing.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Thank you for reaching out to us, Michael. Looking at the photos of your hinge, I can see the name "Truth" printed on it. This type of hinge was made to come away from the end so that you can get your hand on the outside to wash the sash from inside the house.

Take a look at our 36-048 and 36-004-10. These aren't exactly like yours, but I've used this type hinge in the past to replace the older Truth brand one. I found that as long as you replace the hinges in pairs they work just as well. I'm not sure why your sash is hitting when it is opened. There could be something else going on when you try to open your window, like an obstruction of some sort.
