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?
