Casement weatherseal

Question

I am looking for rubber weather seal for very old wood casement Andersen windows. (pre-1975 ?)

There is a 3/16" groove around the entire sash frame, the top rail has begun to leak when raining. I'm not sure these windows actually came new with a seal in the groove but would like to try to attach a rubber seal along the top groove. I also plan to replace the V-shape seals around the two sides and top of the frame.

My question is whether you have such a seal, or other, and if you can recommend how to secure it into a wood groove.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello,

Unfortunately, we can't recommend a replacement seal if you do not have a sample for us to compare to our inventory. The best recommendation that we can make would be to order some weatherstripping samples here to try out.

I've had customers in the past who did not have a groove to install weatherstripping who we're able to purchase double-sided waterproof adhesive to adhere one of our seals to the window. This is not a permanent solution but should work in a pinch. Thanks for posting!
