Hi, I have a single hung window in my house that was built in 1980 (which I'm assuming is the age of the window). One of the windows in the house is missing plastic "tabs" (4) that stick out to easily guide the window vertically. Without the tabs the window bounces around in the sash. I have included a picture I drew to show exactly what I'm talking about (I am not at my house at the moment to take a picture).

My question is what is this small plastic piece called and where can you find it. I looked all over the web and still no luck.

Thanks in advance!

It's probably a "nylon sash guide" and there many types. A better drawing or picture is needed.
