Hello, It sounds like the pivot shoe is in the locked position. You'll need to use a slotted screwdriver to rotate the cam and raise the shoe to remove it. See our video below. Once you can remove it, please show us another photo and confirm the exact width and thickness to compare to our inventory. Thank you! |

I'd recommend trying to lubricate the track with silicone and trying the shoe again. If that doesn't work, unfortunately, you may need to get a professional involved to troubleshoot the window in person in case there is an obstruction or some other reason the shoe won't budge. |

The dimensions we need are the width and thickness. I'd recommend checking another shoe that might be easier to remove and take photos and dimensions of that one. Once we can identify your part, you can just break the damaged shoe further and remove the pieces to install the replacement. |

We're making progress but, unfortunately, we can't get accurate dimensions from photos. We'll need you to write out the exact width and thickness of your pivot shoe to confirm the best replacement option. Thank you! |

Great, we'll also need you to confirm the exact thickness of the shoe to make sure that what we recommend will fit in your window channel. Thank you. |

Great, take a look and compare our 15-046 to your pivot shoe. |
