Hi, both pivot bars on this window have broken. Can't seem to find anything that looks even remotely like this. Any thoughts?

Hi there Bob!
Thank you for reaching out to us. We don't sell this particular pivot bar. The 26-125 is similar though. Review the specifications and see if you think this could work for you.

Hi Bob,
Would you be able to help me understand how you removed the old pivot bars, and then installed the new ones? From your pictures, it looks like I have the same windows and the same situation (multiple pivot bars are sheared off). I would to replace them with this part from SWISCO, since you said that it fit perfectly. But, I can't figure out how to remove the old, sheared off pivot bars. If I remove the one screw that is holding the rest of the body into the side of the window sash, the broken pivot bar is still not free to come out. It's retained by the vinyl on the side of the sash or the bottom of the sash. I've watched vidoes on how to replace the pivot bar for other windows, but, they appear to just slide in from one direction (the side of the sash). These pivot bars can't slide in from one direction because they have part of their body that goes up the side of the window sash (which is where the screw goes in) and part of their body goes across the base of the window sash, and there's vinyl blocking both sides. Did you have to remove that vinyl somehow? Any help you can give would be so greatly appreciated. Beside these pivot bars, the windows are in OK shape and we don't have the money to replace the whole window. Thanks so much, -Ben
