sash window tile latch

Hello, I would like to replace this part (2 units on top upper corners of sash window). On my unit the nubs that stick out from the latches are extremely short and don't stick out more than 1 or 2 mm, so the sash window sometimes falls over with a slight disturbance. I'm not sure how they got this way, but it seems like they got broken off or got worn short. Do you have any suggestions? What further information is needed? this is a vinyl window. Thank you.

Hello,

Start by comparing your tilt latch to our 26-244 and 26-420 to see if the dimensions of one of these replacements match up to yours. If you notice that both latches are different from yours besides the worn-down tooth, please provide us with your dimensions so that we can continue researching a replacement for you. Thank you!

Thank you! I popped out the old tilt latch following the instructions in your instructional video (using flathead screwdriver and hammer) it appears to be a perfect match to 26-244 & 26-243. I just order one of each. I really appreciate the consultation. Dave
