p.g.t window top plastic guide

Quick Learner from Florida
this is a small piece of plastc that screws into both sides of the lower window on the P.G.T. window at the top. It is what holds against the balance on the side. It catches the spring-loaded balance.  I bought the balances from you and they obviously work properly but one side of the window catches and the other doesn't. Neither is in good shape.

Thanks for posting. This part is called a Top Sash Guide. There are many different kinds of these guides, and without pictures of yours removed from the window it is impossible to say what you have. It might be something like the 18-015, commonly seen on PGT windows, but this is just an educated guess. Take a look and see what you think.

That is exactly the same as what I have except that mine have a second hole 7/8" below the hole you show; however it does not appear that the hole is new. I will order some. Thanks

Fair enough. Let us know how you make out, and many thanks for reaching out.

The top sash guides work. The new sashes work. All is well. 

However on one occasion, the little metal clip that you pull out to stop the sash when you are working on the window broke. I "borrowed" one from another window. Do you carry these?

Hey Joseph. It sounds like you might be referring to the Take-Out Clips that hold channel balances in place during removal or installation. See if the 16-002 matches what you have.
