Masterview Window Rollers
Our house was built in the early 1990s and included Masterview windows. We have several large windows that slide open and the small rollers in the bottom of the slider section have deteriorated to the point the windows are sitting on the frame and are now generally unable to slide open. I was able ... (cont.)

Identify pivot bar and pivot shoe
I have attached a picture of a corner pivot bar. It measures approximately 2.1/4" at it's longest point. 5/8" wide. 3/16 thick. Could not find in your catalog. Also my pivot shoe is 8/16" X2" X 1 .1/4". I'm wondering if there is any 8/16". may be they run small?? Please advise.

The etching in the glass looks like it says "CFA Windows 10-96". It looks a lot like your Rollyson 2-5/8" type ... (cont.)
