Hi Antonio,

Thanks for writing in! I'm sorry to say that I would not be able to identify the pile weatherstripping needed for your patio door based on the photos provided. Unfortunately, the stamp from the window does not provide enough information and I am unable to determine the size needed from the photos of the track.

Take a look at the tutorial below. In it we explain the details needed to properly identify the weatherstripping.

Hi jasmine,

I forgot to attached the pictures of the measurements but I think the width of the base is 3/16 and the high also 3/16. You can see the pictures and with your experience tell me if I'm right or not.

Thanks for the photos. It does appear that the measurement is somewhere around 3/16", however you may want to double check with a measuring tape.

We have two styles of wool pile with a 3/16 x 3/16" measurement. They are the 58-002 Pile Weatherstripping and the 58-021 Gray Pile Weatherseal; the latter is made with a fin-seal in the center of the pile.

Hi Jasmine,

I think I'll get the 58-021 Gray Pile Weatherseal with a fin-seal in the center is likely more effective at keeping insects and cold out due to its additional sealing feature.

Hello,

Okay, great! Yes, the fin-seal is there to provide just a bit more protection from weather and debris.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.

Have a great day!
