I'm afraid Andersen uses many, many different types of spline. At this stage I have no basis by which to make a recommendation.

Your next step should be to remove a small, undamaged sample of the original and show me a clear picture of the end profile. I can then check our inventory for a possible match. The video below will clarify exactly what we need to help.

Maybe I am missing something or more probably not asking the right question. I am (planning on) replacing the screen on my Anderson window and I watched your "how-to" video. In it, the original metal screen retainer was removed and unusable. A flexible spline was used in it's place to retain the screen in place to the frame. You have several different sizes of this spline on your website and I want to know which size I should get that is the proper fit for a channel that is approx 1/4 inch wide.
Thanks!

I see, thank you for clarifying! The spline we use for this specific video is the .250 59-250. Hopefully this answers your question, but please let me know if you need anything else.
