3/16" x 7/16" White Wool Pile weatherstripping

Question

I recently pulled some white wool pile weatherstripping off a Patriot 1800 series window and need replacement. Tried to measure the base (measured 3/16) and height (from base to height of wool, seems 7/16). None of your options match this, and the plastic base is not flat but is concave with two "ridges" at the edges. I think the original stripping was "splined" in rather than slid in (like your install video) - do you have something that matches?

Check to see if there is a small cut out at the end of the wool pile groove in the window sash were you can slide in the new pile. Normally, window manufacturers slide in the pile before they assemble the sashes. In some cases, you can slip the wool pile into the groove using the back of a utility knife blade or a small flat bladed screw driver. We also carry the 58-198 wool pile, which has a base of 3/16" and a height of 7/16". See what you think.
