We have two bathroom crank style Milgard windows that are about 20 years old with deteriorated seals as shown in the attached pictures. The replacement seal that Milgard sent us is shown on the right in the "detail" picture and the OEM deteriorated seal is on the left so the replacement seal that they sent is clearly incorrect. Do you have any replacement seals that might work and if so do you need me to make additional measurements with my calipers?
-Thanks! Russ

Hey, Russ. I couldn't find any weatherseal exactly like your two samples. That said, I wonder if you could use our 58-200 to replace both of them. It's similar in design and size, though I'm not 100% sure. Look over our dimensions and see what you think. If you want, you can also order a sample of it here if you wanted to try it out first.

I'm afraid we don't have anything else with such a large kerf. All of our other bubble and foam seal kerfs are 1/8" wide at their largest. They would only be looser. I was really hoping the 58-200 would work, since it's the largest we have. Could you possibly use a little silicone caulk? |

Happy to help, Russ. Please let us know if that does the trick. |

Cutting the seal at a clean angle is usually enough in most cases. If you aren't confident that it will, then either of your suggestions would potentially work. I personally would only use a heat gun if nothing else works. |
