Thank you for your patience during this busy season. I'm afraid I can't make out this weatherstripping based on this photo. Would it be possible to see a clear picture of the end profile in undamaged condition? The video below will explain what I mean. Written dimensions would also be helpful.

Thank you! This angle is perfect. Unfortunately, this does confirm that we don't sell any weatherseal that matches this design.

The only product we sell that may be worth considering is our 59-135. This has a full bubble, rather than just a flat flap like yours, but depending on size it may be worth considering. Look it over and see what you think.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I was half expecting that the original weatherstripping from the factory would no longer be available due to the age of the windows. However, I'm going to try your suggested option and hope that it will work. Thanks again for you help.

Great, sounds like a plan! Please let me know if it works out, or if you had any other questions in general.
