Replace Kinco top sash guide
My top sash guides are breaking as they are 10 years old and plastic. I researched your site and found two possible replacements. The spring on one of my windows is 29 3 nm BSI. It looks like 18-166 is a match and 18-044 is real close. From what I can see, it looks like 18-044 is 1/8 of an inch s ... (cont.)

Top Sash Guide ID
This shoe has the same dimensions as the 18-166 except that the top is is 7/8" thick instead of 1/2" thick, and the bottom is 7/16" thick instead of 5/16" thick. Please tell me if the 18-166 will work since it is the one that is closest to mine.

Top sash guide ID help
the channel balances on either side of my windows are "stopped" by the piece. This is screwed into the window not the frame. The dimensions of the piece are 1 7/16 x 5/8 x 1/2" (at it's deepest part.) Was wondering if you stock these? Thanks, Andre
