Hello, I’m try to find the part number for the little green adjustable gibs/guides on the bottom of the plate of my TS55 that slides on the track rails. My saw is the 2007 model. 
After a few moves, I have misplace my owners manual which has the parts breakdown in it. I have also tried the festools ekat. Have issues on reading the part number.
Festool , Indiana won’t give out part numbers. They told me to send in the saw.
Thanks for any help and input.

They are called Glide Pads.

Post a picture of the tag on the saw, we need the model and serial number to get you the proper part number.

Early TS 55's don't have the glide pads. They only have that excenter knob. So check what you have as there are different parts involved.

The first one has more trouble getting over coupled rails than the bottom one.

As far as I remember, there are also (later) TS 55's with the separate black glide pads and all TS 55 R's have them.

Thank you Tom and Coen for the help, much appreciated.
My saw is a TS55EQ, tr-nm 491 595
Serial number of 13635336.
Having issues with the internet with posting pictures..
I would like to replace both sets of glide pads front and back and both right and left side of the rail.
Thank you for your time.

Yeah that looks like something in between the two versions I posted.
