This is an upper level so am not able to secure a better photo. This is a hard plastic L shaped seal that seems to slide into a slot. I cannot locate this locally and wondered if you had it, know of it, or have a replacement recommendation.

Thank you for reaching out to us. I believe what you're looking for is glazing. We may be able to help but we'll need you to remove an undamaged sample and show us a clear view of the end profile. I know you said this window is on the upper level but I'm afraid that's the only way for us to help. |

Yes! I saw something online called Caulk Glazing that looked just like that but they are mostly thin metal, this is plastic unless it's become brittle over time. I assume since it's not really a seal and some of the others even have been painted over (is why I can't remove a bottom level to take around to stores). I may be able actually to get a photo of the end piece for you. May take a day or two. Thanks. I also saw something called SILL NOSE MILL, but the dims are 2-3/4 x 1-1/2 which seem too wide.
I'll return with a photo soon.

I think it's called GLAZING BEAD. It comes Vertical (with 45 degree cut) and Horizontal (with no angle cut). I saw it on YouTube. Mine is L shaped so it slides into a thin slot. It is Plastic but I bet metal would work too as long as it's paper thin ish. I can tour the local HD, Lowes, ACE, but this may be beyond what they carry these days. Would you have this product? I mainly need some Verticals, but having some back of both will be great. I will attach a few photos, the width is 1/2" and this is also with the part that inserts so 1/2 x 1/2 L shaped. I see there are also Vinyl versions as well.
Let me know if available and I'll place an order since you've been so helpful

I am afraid I can't ID your glazing from these photos. The only way for me to do so is if I see a photo of an undamaged end profile. There's a good chance we may not have a replacement but seeing the end profile would allow me to confirm. You can browse our selection here in the meantime. |

Frustrating morning today talking with several window people at ACE, HD, Lowes, and two local glass and window ma/pa shops. Since the stickers on the windows are all gone due to normal years of I can't search out the original installer and heck, it's been since the early 90's for this development and they are most likely gone anyway. No one sells this nor a match it. Seems to me like a simple L shaped vinyl or plastic 1/2 x 1/2 insert.
So the recommendation from all is the same: Go online. I think I would be interested in seeing what you offer and may purchase several just to see what I can do to ADAPT it to what I have. These are more for appearance and UV rays instead of water sealant anyway. So can you send me a link to what your catalog has that comes close to this? I would entertain metal too since I'm just going to paint it, but it's got to be razor thin on the edges. I can cut the 45 degree is I must for the vertical so not a problem there.
