Hello! Please remove the piece from the window so we can see a "profile" angle of it, like the photo below:

Hello, thanks for the reply. It is very hard to remove the piece without braking it. It is L-shape plastic piece with a grove underneath. See attached pictures.

Take a look at our 55-080 glazing. It seems like it should work as a replacement but make sure to compare the dimensions to the one you're replacing.

Great, looks exactly the same, thanks a lot!
Any tips for how to remove old ones? Also this is more decorative piece and not structural, so if I remove it my frame will not brake apart, right?

See the video below for how we replace snap in glazing like yours. Hopefully this helps answer your questions on how these function and how they can be swapped out.
