This is a casement window with a two part snap in glazing. However, the top piece does not seem particularly necessary; at least in this application. The client believes the brand to be Star Windows. There were no visible markings on the frame, sash, or hardware - other than the hinge which was Truth. I have searched high and low and have not seen (or I overlooked) a direct replacement or retrofit production pieces. Please provide some knowledge! Thank you!!!

Hello,

I don't recognize this dual glazing set up at first glance, but I'm going to have one of our senior experts take a look. We'll reach out as soon as more information is available. Thank you!

Unfortunately, we could not locate a two-piece glazing bead that matches the one shown in your photos. We offer the 55-197, which looks like it would snap into the bottom of the window like your base part, but it is not tall enough by itself. We can't make any guarantees but see if you might be able to reuse your base piece with one of the glazing beads related on this page. Review the suggested glazing beads, along with the related videos to assist you.

The above mentioned piece worked! There was a slight bit of trimming on the back flange in order for the depth to match up. But other than that it snapped in and looks great. Thank you!
