I've got these wheels on the bottom of a sliding window in my house. Some of the wheels have a flat spot. I can't seem to find the exact parts on your sight. I don't really need the exact part if there's something that would also fit and work better than the original wheels.

Thank you for your patience in this matter. It's tough to make out exactly what you have from this photo, but our 87-188 looks close in design. Look over our dimensions and photos and let me know what you think.

It looks close but my part doesn't seem to have that "J" shaped catch on the right side (shown for the 87-188 in the 2nd picture on your site). I'll the part out and take some measurements.

I see what you're talking about. Being the 87-188 roller assembly housing is nylon, you could cut off the "J" with a sharp utility knife. It's also a good idea to have you compare dimensions before purchasing. Compare the width of the housing (5/16"), the height of the housing is (3/8"), the total height with the wheel is (7/16"), the wheel diameter is 3/8" and the screw hole distance is (1-11/32"). If everything matches up, then you should be ok to go.
