Window face guides

Question

Hi

I am looking to replace some missing face guides from some aluminum windows. The local glass company told me they were Viking Windows form the 1980's

The guides are 1/2 inch wide, about 5/8 inch long. The step is about 3/16 inch thick and has a gentle radius with the apex at 3/8. A small screw attaches teh guide to the window.

They are dark brown to black in color and are visible from inside the house so color is important.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, Ton. Thanks for posting, and for the great information. I'm afraid that I couldn't find an exact match for this face guide, but our 67-002 comes very close. The dimensions all seem to match up well, but we aren't able to provide it in alternate colors. It can, however, be painted. Let me know what you think of this solution.
