Attached are two photos of top sash guides from my windows. Can you determine the proper replacement, or do you need additional measurements?

Thanks.

This looks like the old Milgard top sash guide. This isn't made anymore but you may be able to use our 18-009 as a replacement. The catch is that you'd need to trim the top edge down to be flush with the rest of the guide.

Review the dimensions below to verify that everything else lines up. If so then I think this is the part you want.

I guess I should have followed your recommendation. You recommended a trimmed 18-009 Top Sash Guide as a replacement, but my measurements indicated that a 18-188 Guide was a better fit. I ordered 20 of them and was incorrect. Fortunately I also ordered 2 18-009's so I was able to confirm you were correct.

Question - I will put in an order for 20 18-009s, but can i return the 18-188 Guides for credit?

thanks.
