I'm looking to replace the snap in vinyl bead weatherstripping on my Acorn window from 1980. I destroyed three out of the four strips when replacing the window sash. So I have one piece remaining intact, which I included in the attached pictures. It's a J shape piece and the closest match I could find on your website is product code: 55-060.
As you can see in the attached photos, this is a nearly perfect match. The dimensions on product 55-060 match as well (5/16" x "3/4"). There is one difference however. On product 55-060, the far end of the 3/4" side has two little tabs hanging down. If you can see in the included pictures, mine only has one tab, not two. I wonder if this will still work or not? Or would this tiny difference prevent it from snapping in?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. If you happen to have an exact match, I am interested. If this is the closest match, then I'm considering ordering two 6' lengths and cutting three pieces to install with my existing one. If it doesn't work, can I return them unused? The shipping is expensive so just wondering what's my best option here.
