This ancient storm window is 3/8" thick outside width. The spline is so old & stiff I won't be able to reuse it. Which part would you recommend to replace the spline? Thanks!

Can you remove a piece of spline to show us a different angle? We need to see a "profile" like in this drawing:

Thanks for your reply! To my surprise, I was able to remove the old spline without destroying it by heating it with a heat gun. Here's a pretty good view of the end & bottom.

Thanks for the photo. I see that you have a very small and thin drop in glass spline. Our 59-068 spline is very pliable and may fit into your frame. The locking kerf measures 1/8" and the length is 3/16".
