Thanks for writing in to us. See our 39-417 Tie Bar Guide. While different in appearance, it should work the same as your old Tie Bar Guide. Look it over and see what you think.

Thanks for the info Bob. I agree- it should work fine. As of last week this product was on back order. I requested to be notified when in, but no dates were listed. Any idea on the wait? The winds are picking up in Colorado and I really need this part to seal
My windows. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid the 39-417 won't be available for a few months. We do carry another Tie Bar Guide, our 39-448. However you may need to trim it in order for it to fit. Let me know what you think.

Thanks Bob. I just ordered 39-448 and will trim. I appreciate your excellent customer service (sadly, a bit of a rarity in these times). Have a great day.
