Need correct weather stripping for hopper windows

Dear Sir/Ms, the hardwear has A.W. Ander berg stamped on the hinges no part number. The aluminun window frame and single pain glass comes from Win Vent. These windows were installed in 1987. The wool on the weather stripping is 3/8 inch wide but fits somehow in a grove because I can grab the wool and the length on one side slides a bit back and forth. The dimensions are 21 1/2 X 22 with stripping on the lip and the main body all the way around and all fit in grooves.

Thanks for posting. I'm afraid I need a little more information to be able to help. Could you provide is the width of the base of the pile, and then the height of the wool? Be precise as possible, even down to the X/32". We'll be able to narrow down any possible replacements we have from there. Thanks.

The part that slides into the groove (width) is 9/32 or 7 mm and the height of the plastic filament the pile is next to is 12/32 or 9mm.I don't know but when it was new the pile may have been a little higher than the plastic filament. Impossible to tel now.

Hmm... we don't have anything with those exact specifications, but our 58-158 is close. It has a 9/32" base and 5/16" height. That's a little less than what you have, though. Could you still get it to work? That's the tallest pile with a 9/32" base that we have.

do you have any thing taller but with a slightly narrower base, say between 1/8 and 1/4 base?

Sure, we have the 58-198. This has a 3/16" base and 7/16" tall pile. Would that be better?

The prices posted are per how long in length?

The two wool pile types we've discussed are sold in 25' increments. Most wool pile we sell is, with a few exceptions. You can read the product description on each wool pile's store page for clarification. We always mention it there.
