Can you direct me to a part number and source for this part? Picture maybe?

Though no direct, plug n play part exists, there is a part assembly which only
costs <$10. In making this repair however, we must drill out the metal pivot
post, swap pieces, then reassemble.

This repair is 99% labor but it saves us $50-100 so that is a consideration each
shade tree mechanic needs to determine, ie is the cost benefit ratio worth the
time spent?

The square nylon slider is the one which ride the horiz channel at the bottom
of the window/track, right? If it is indeed the part which is failing and pre-
venting the window from fully closing the last 2", I'm not quite picturing how
it has failed. Usually I find that it's the vertical track which fails on the 210s.
hmmm..... headscratcher
