Top sash guide
I need to replace the sash guide on the left in the pictures. They break easily. I bought the one on the right on your website (18-044 5/8" kinco) but it is too big. The difference is small. Can you please help me select the correct one on your site?
Thanks for posting. I'm sorry to hear the 18-044 didn't work for you. How does the 81-201 compare? This has a closer design, but check the dimensions below. Let me know how they compare to your old guide.
Great! I'm glad it's a match.
Unfortunately, there is no metal alternative to this top sash guide that I am aware of. We do still sell a handful of metal top sash guides, but these are not at all popular anymore and are really only used on older windows. None of them are compatible with the 18-201.
I am sorry for the inconvenience. Most parts manufacturers have moved away from metal top sash guides and almost exclusively make them in plastic.
