Rubber guide for moveable sash in metal window

Question

There are 4 small rubber guides on the moveable sash that keeps it aligned.  They are in a slot at each corner of the metal window up against the jamb to keep it aligned side-to-side when sliding it up and down..  They are 1/2" long and have a side that goes into a slot on the sash and an edge that goes under the jamb to provide a gap between the window and jamb and a part that sticks out to prevent the sash from moving sideways.  I attached some pics and wondered if you can give some advice on these.  Several are missing in other sashes and this one was brittle and falling apart when I removed it.  The window has spiral balances.

Hello, thank you for posting,

It sounds like you may be describing a type of face guide. Do you have any still installed in the window that we could view the placement? I cannot guarantee we can provide an exact match, but from there we can get a clearer idea if we can assist. Thank you!
