Retaining clip snaps inside sliding window frame to retain screen window. Fits/snaps into a 5/8" channel in the frame. Is three inches long, 7/8 wide. Grips channel fins. Window is likely made by Vytec.

I just found a label inside the window that identifies the window. It has a part number 1980-003 along with other identifing information. Maybe this helps identify the retaining clip or an extrusion number I might use to find a way to replace these clips. Now posting the image in case that helps. Thanks to all!

Hello,

Unforutnately, we don't carry an exact match for this clip, but take a look at the slip-on 70-176 screen clip. Review the specifications below and see what you think. Thanks for posting!

Thanks so much Casey! Sadly I don't think that clip will fit into my 5/8" channel in the frame, as it says it fits 3/8" or 7/8". Right??

5/8" thick is quite a large screen frame. Our clip will only hold a 3/8" or 7/16" thick frame. I don't believe we can supply a clip to accommodate that size. If you haven't already, I'd suggest reaching out to the manufacturer directly since you may have a special screen configuration.
