I have Alenco windows. Bubble seals don't seal well in the corners. Kerf is approx 3/16ths inch. Bubble seal is 1/2 inch including the kerf. I am unable to reinstall the kerf into the groove. Would like to order new Bubble seal(s) and please give me a tip for reinserting the kerf into the groove. The kerf if round not winged as some of the seals you show.

Hi Joseph, thanks for writing in. Unfortunately we don't carry any products with the round kerf that you show. The closest match I could find is our 58-114. As far as re-inserting the kerf, it should just simply plug in. What problems are you running in to?

Thanks Julia. After a few tries I was able to get the kerf started with a putty knife. Afraid to cut the seal, I used the back of the handle to work it further into the groove. I'll keep your 58-114 suggestion in mind but first I would like to explore other options to fin a "round" kerf. I appreciate your help.

It's my pleasure. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything else we can assist you with going forward.

I need 4 each of the spring. It is important that I get the same strength spring. (The last repairman gave us springs that are too difficult to close on one of our windows.) The photo shows a spring that is broken but the tension is very good when it is working.

Photos 2 & 3 show a seal that needs replacement. I require 8 linear feet of the seal.

Thanks for reaching out to us. Your photo shows the stamp and bottom fitting for the balance, but not the top fitting. I'm also not sure how deep the bottom fitting is, so we'll need that, too. I recommend watching the video below to get a better idea of exactly what kind of information we need from you to help.

Concerning the seal, that seems to be the same one you showed Julia last December. Did you ever decide if the 58-114 is a match or not?
