Hello!

This part you're looking for is called a tie bar guide. We don't sell your particular style but the 39-417 and 39-448 are similar. Review the specifications and see if you think one of them could work for you.

We have the same part broken as Handy in Montana. We tried part 39-417 and it did not even come close. The measurement on 39-448 dont seem close either but we are going to order them and give them a try because they are our last resort since the ones we have are no longer made. I don't know what else to do except get an entirely new window just because the manufacturer stopped making the part. Does anyone else have any suggestions? @Handy Person from Montana did 39-448 work for you or did you find an alternative? Thank you

The 39-417 and 39-448 tie bar guides are quite versatile and are known to work as replacements for various designs for this type of guide. In some cases, using spacers may be needed to create the space needed for the tie bar to function properly. See our video below on these types of parts if you haven't already. This thread will remain open if the original poster or other customers have any input on this particular guide.
