Upper Window Balance Guide?

Home Owner from Southeast Idaho
The plastic corner on the window pane that moves up and down held on with 2 screws.  Appears to help guide the pane up and down against the balance.

The part you are replacing is the top sash guide. These do help to guide the balance and the window sash (the pane) when opening and closing the window. They also help to prevent the balances from shooting out of the window and keep it centered.

I'll need to see a front facing view of the original to identify its replacement.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Apologies for the delay.  I had to find a window in our house that was not damaged the same way.  I have attached pics of the corner pieces that are broken on several of our windows.  I have also attached a pic of the sash.  I think one is not broken (plastic extends out to side on one end) and one is broken.(does not have plastic extending out).  Can you let me know what parts to purchase?Thanks

Thanks for the additional photos. Your window balance appears to be assembled with a wingless top guide and a winged 7/8" shoe. We can supply the replacement but it will need to be a custom assembly, since we'll need to add the 15-029 shoe to the balance.

I'll just need to know the number of balances you'd like to purchase to get the quote made up for you. The quantity minimum is (2) balances.

Regarding the to sash guide. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact replacement match for the one you have. There is a possibility the 18-057 Top Sash Guide could work for the repair but we cannot make any guarantees. Be sure to review and compare the dimensions below.
