Hello,

Unfortunately, your vinyl sash glazing bead with the built-in lift handle is no longer available. We carry the 55-015 glazing bead shown below. Take a look and compare the specifications to yours. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for responding Paul
not sure what you mean by lift handle the 55-015 measures very close just doesn't have that extra little bead on the left side to snap in to lock it in place.

The extra piece is the lift, which would be used to open and close the window. Our part only holds the glass inside the frame, but does not have the extra lift function of your original glazing.

That's not a lift handle the curved leg drops in around the glass and the small leg on left side pushes into the window side rail to lock it in place.

Thank you for clarifying. Unforutnately, we do not carry anything with that exact design. The 55-015 would still be our best option, but we can't make any guarantees since it's not an exact match. If you decide to give it a try and run into any trouble, our return policy can be found here.
