I am getting water intrusion during driving rains which appear to be around the weatherstripping. I have just ordered constant force balances and pivot bars due to heavy corrosion but I neglected to inspect the weatherstripping until a driving rain yesterday (Located on Atlantic ocean)
My window fit is loose, I am pretty sure that the frame has warped a little bit so I think I would like to go to the 3/16 x 7/16 weatherstrip you offer. I do believe originally my wall tile was a quarter of an inch pile but due to the loose window in frame I am inclined to order the larger wall pile. What is your opinion and please suggest part numbers. Plastic base is 3/16"
Also want to replace bottom bulb seal. Foam filled 1/4" diameter bulb. Base width is about 3/16" horizontal surfaces. Offset from tangent of bulb to center of slot feature is 1/4".

Thanks for writing in. The width of your pile might be 7/32" wide, not 3/16". Please recheck. If you can use 7/32", we suggest the 58-158 that is 5/16" tall. We feel 1/2" tall will make the sash too tight. For the foam filled bulb weather strip, look at the 58-171 and 58-182. Compare the T-Slot size to yours. |
