Hi! Thank you for having this discussion board! I'm trying to replace the glazing beads of 3 windows. I'm not sure where to get a like-kind product. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The current ones are hard and brittle.

Can you remove a piece and show us a photo of the end profile? Use an angle similar to the one shown in the drawings below:

Thank you for your response! I've tried to remove a piece but they're too brittle and break every time. The profile looks like a quarter-round.

Thanks for the additional information. How about starting with taking a look at our 55-006 snap in glazing bead. See if you think this could work for you.
