Glue or Epoxy for Fixing Broken Window Mechanism

[oldmannickels]

I had a part of one of my Anderson casement windows break.

It's the triangle piece at the end of the straight arm connector. The piece that slides the casement window open and closed. Replacement parts I've seen been about $60-$70 so I want to try to glue it back together before I replace it all.

It seems to be made out of plastic but exactly what kind I'm not sure.

What kind of glue or epoxy would you recommend for the project.

For all things plastic, I generally turn to superglue for repairs. I've gone through several bottles repairing my kids toys over the years.

If you have all the parts, and they all fit together w/o any gaps; superglue.
For small gaps; use superglue and baking soda (google it).

If there are pieces missing or substantial gaps; use plastic epoxy.  The one I have is Ace hardware brand.

You also need to address why / how it broke.

Why not buy the new part (Anderson calls it a "shoe") for $6.  at windowparts.com
The great part about the Anderson brand is that there are generally replacement parts available for anything they made in the last half century, or longer. Good luck.

Thanks! I had no idea what that piece was called. I'm going to try to super glue it and order one of these if it doesn't work out.

I looked more at the window and it looks like the operator channel has come loose and was putting strain on the shoe.
