It’s a double slider and it looks like the tracks are broken, we did get water in the tracks at least twice in driving rain.

Yeah, even before Covid, when we replaced the upstairs windows, it took 3 months for them to come in! We’ve contacted two window companies so far, one says February at the earliest (made locally), the other says maybe mid December (coming from out of province) but it might be too cold to install by then, otherwise maybe February or March. We can’t get anything close to that size at Home Depot, Lowes, Home Hardware etc, I tried!

That one is 68 x 42 inches (ruler shown in photo is cm) and faster quoted was $1646 plus repair, slower quoted was higher

Here in NY we have a thriving Chinese community that makes windows local. See if you can't figure out if you have something like that where you're located. They sell all material and install everything from doors to gates to counter tops. The labor may be immigrants but they're local, made to spec and good quality. Good luck
