Grey Pile Weatherstripping

Question

Hello.  My windows are over 25 years old.  I don't know the manufacturer.  The weatherstripping could not have been very high even when new.  I suspect that 1/8" deep might be too much.  Am I stuck?

1/8" is already pretty small, as far as wool pile height is concerned. I don't think we'll be able to get a shorter version than that. That said, if you need something smaller, you can always run a razor blade along the top of it to give it a "hair cut." I've done that before in a pinch and find that it works quite well. Just understand that any product altered in this way cannot be returned.
