Hello,

The tilt latches shown in your photos resemble the 26-408. Take a look and compare the specifications below to confirm that they match up to yours. Thanks for posting!

It has the same number, so I believe you hit it out of the ballpark thank you. Now I had to tear it up to remove it. Can you tell me a better way to remove them? but I guess the new one will just snap I place either way.

After I removed the tilt lever, I could not slide latch and spring out in video maybe I need to pull hard what are your suggestions? also need a screen if you sell them.

Tilt latches are not always designed to be removed and can also become brittle from sun exposure, which can cause them to break upon removal as well. With that being said, it should be fine as long as you wait until you have replacements on hand to remove the rest of your tilt latches.

Also, could you elaborate on what you mean by not being able to slide the latch and spring out? Could you show us the parts that you're having a hard time removing?
