I have been redoing a house my father built and I am having trouble finding replacement exterior glazing beads for the weathershield casement windows. The original are vinyl but some were replaced with aluminum around 1994. I spoke with weathershield and they don't make them anymore. Does anyone still make these?

We might be able to help, but I can't tell based on these pictures. I will need you to remove a small sample and take a picture of its end-section so that we can see its shape. Thanks!

The picture you commented on looks exactually what I need. Mine or 1980 Weathershield wood windows. I took a glazing bead off and can send a picture if you tell me.
Thanks

Thanks for submitting pictures, Gary. Unfortunately, we cannot identify what you have. I need you to remove a small piece and show us its end section. If we cannot make out its shape, we will not be able to find a match.

You asked for a picture but I already sent it. Here it is again. I will also send you a measurement graticule.
Thanks

Thank you. The best match we seem to have is our 55-156. I am not sure if this will work for you, but we do not appear to have anything closer. Please look over it and see what you think.
