Any suggestion as to how to remove an internal ("mortised") tilt latch with a broken slide mechanism? The latch is now stuck and the window can't be tilted.
Had the same problem. Couldn't release window to change latch. Used a small flat head Screwdriver slid in in the channel below the latch was able to push the plastic up and pull the window out. The piece that pulls the latch up was broken. Used a Screwdriver like in the video and them slide the new latch in.

thanks! I used your video to repair my window
Good info, thank you!
nice and very simple
Very useful, thank you so much and save my $$$.
You are welcome! Thank you for the feedback. Happy to hear that this was a useful tool for you!
God I love UA-cam!!
My latch is missing the push, slide pieces...and can't tilt the window open to then replace it
My plastic broke. Can’t open the window inward to do that. How to fix?
Wow. I had to have the entire window reframed to fix mine… cause the mechanism was internal to the frame.
what about the other side of the latch in the frame? how to replace that?

It seems these videos do everything but tell you that sigh
I just broke the lock tabs on my grand daughters window!! Can they be replaced or do I have to buy a new window?
Did you figure it out?!
"Just lock her down." Lol
That's great, but what if the latch will not retract and you can't tilt the window in?
Richard Freedman same question I had.
Yes. My broken told latch won't let me release the windows from the frame.
