Cole Sewell storm door parts

I am looking for the vinyl strips that hold in the glass or screens on Cole Sewell doors. A reference on the internet said that you might have them.
Thanks

We don't sell the strips you're looking for, unfortunately. Cole Sewell has been out of business for a long time and they took all of their products with them. No company that I know of is able to sell their old hardware.

That said, if this is just a storm door retainer strip then one quick fix you could try is cutting the strip you have now into equal-sized clips, each being a couple inches long. The secret to retainer strips like this is that you don't actually need the whole strip, they only do that for aesthetics. As long as you have several shorter clips distributed evenly around the frame then they will do the same job without difference. This is how they did it back in the day and we find that it still works perfectly well.

Thank you for your response.
I did just that but I am concerned about how long this solution will work.
I guess as long as these old vinyl strips last.
