Thank you for the images. Unfortunately, we're having a hard time identifying this weatherseal based on these images. If at all possible, can you remove a small sample from the window and take a picture of its profile? You can then upload it here with dimensions for us to see. An illustration would also work. Thank you!

I am attaching additional images of the OEM weatherstrip. We are looking to improve on this. The manufacturer Caradco now JELD-WEN has a class action suit pending by 18,000 customers with rotted windows. Strip needs top have a g=flange we can insert into a fromt or back kerf(groove). Bubble strip may work better. This leave type weather strip is actually trapping the water because it does not lay flat. Additional images attached.

Thank you! Please take a look at our 55-106 Weatherstripping and compare its dimensions to your sample. Could you use this as a substitute? Let me know!

Would a bubble weatherstrip 58-053 work just as effectively or better? A leaf weatherstrip such as this will not stop water penetration. Something needs to be in the front to block the water.

The only bubble I can think of that may fit is our 58-055 offset seal. However water leakage is a hard thing to prevent. I don't know if any type of weather strip can stop the leaks.
