Truth Window rehab

A home owner from Marietta, GA says:

Refurbishing my 43 year old Truth windows. The house was built in 1980 and I assume they are the original windows. I would like to replace the weather seal as it has disintegrated on most of the sashes.

The attached pictures show that it is about 3/4 of an inch with a 1/4 deep kerf thingy (my technical knowledge was tapped out at "sashes"). Please let me know if you have a product that will serve as a replacement.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott. No worries, that's why they have us worry about the technical stuff. This appears to be a leaf seal, which helps keep the window nice and insulated. Specifically you might have the 55-106, which is really similar in shape--but you'll need to compare the dimensions listed below with the end profile of your old seal to confirm. Try and be precise as possible, since as you can see, seal dimensions get pretty specific. Let me know if anything differs.
