This broke from the top of my bottom panel of our double hung window. I have no idea what it's called but the window tilts when this part is pulled in

Thanks for writing in. This tilt latch is unfamiliar to me I am afraid. Can you show me how it installs into the window? Can you also give us some dimensions like its length and width? We'll see what we have from there. Thanks.

Thanks for replying. Here's a pic of the side that isn't broken and still has it in there. It's a little bit bigger then half an inch wide. Feels like just cheap plastic. The pivot bar broke off also. It's a newer window from 84 lumber but cannot find the brand anywhere

I am afraid we don't have a replacement for this internal latch. See if you could convert to surface-mount tilt latches like the 26-228 and 26-229. The video below shows how.
