Andersen glazing bead has crumbled

Question

Replaced sealed double pane glass on Andersen window, but the glazing beads crumbled when the guy replaced the glass unit. I need to replace them. They seemed to just slide in.

Window is casement,SW4. Natural wood interior; grey/brown color exterior (terratone?). House was built around 1989.... please advice

It's tough to say what you have without seeing the original as a reference. You might have an older version of the 55-310 glazing bead, for 3/8" thick glass, but I can't say. I know your glazing is heavily deteriorated, but carefully check around the window and see if you can get a whole sample. All we need to see is a good shot of the shape and we'd have a much better idea of what you may have.
