I have some older aluminum slider windows in an enclosed (unheated) porch area, 2 of the sliders are missing the left hand side panes and I am trying to find a replacement part. My only problem is I don't know who made the windows, or if it will even be possible. The window measures 50 1/2 in tall by 45 in wide (measured from the inside of the frame).
Here are some pictures. Any help in identifying what type of window / where I can get it would be much appreciated.

Re: Finding Old Aluminum Slider Parts
Common places to look for manufacturers labels:
- Etched on the glass in one of the corners
- In the jambs of the frame (i.e. head jamb, side jambs for sliders, etc)
- On the edges of the sash frame
If you don't have any luck there, perhaps a glass shop can remake those sashes if you present them with a sample section of the sash.
