Hello! This material is called glazing bead. This is the snap-in vinyl strip that keeps the glass in the frame of the window.
It's difficult to tell what you have based on these photos. The way these are identified is by using the shape and size of the end profile as a reference. For now, my best guess is the 55-062. Carefully review its shape and dimensions to verify if they match your original glazing.
Yes, you shouldn't have to break glazing to remove it. The video below will show you the proper method of replacing this.
Note that you're handling the window's glass here, which means that if you aren't careful there is a risk you could break it. If you've never done this before, or if you are uncomfortable doing that, you may want the help of a professional.
Thank you. I can verify that we don't sell this exact glazing, but we do sell a few that are similar in design. The 55-062 I mentioned is one option, but now that I see it out we also have the 55-193, 55-203, and 55-172. These are all contenders.
Your next step is to carefully compare size. We have detailed dimensions listed for each glazing bead, so you need to measure your own and go through these dimensions one at a time to verify which, if any, will match.
As for how much you need, that depends on what you have now. You need to measure each glazing strip on your window and start making a list. If you've never done this kind of replacement job before, you may want the help of a professional. Given that we don't have an exact match for your old bead, some creative improvisation may be necessary to get one of ours to work.
