Yellow plastic slide deteriorating on all my windows.

Hello, I bought a home that was built in 1976. Every window is a casement window and the crank handles have R.O.W on them. The problem I'm having is the yellow plastic slide piece is deteriorating and causing closure issues.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Take a look at our 36-048 and 36-049 hinge sets, depending on the size that you need, as well as the video below that goes over the replacement process. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for the help but I couldn't see the recommended replacement part working. I added additional pictures for clarity. Maybe I am missing something? Thanks in advance.

The parts that I recommended would be to replace only the hinge set. You mentioned that the yellow slide was broken, which is part of a hinge that is no longer being made but you may be able to replace it with one of our modern hinge sets. As for your operator, you can start by comparing our 39-013 and 39-014 to yours.
