I'm afraid that I can't determine what you have from your photo. Please send us a photo of the glazing bead itself, making sure that we can see the end of it. Please also send us a photo on how it relates/installs in your window sash. Thank you!

Here are some more closeups.

As you can see in image ...646, the material is very brittle and cracks easily. It has been in a bathroom so could just be the humidity has dried it out.

Image ...647 is a profile. The edge near the top (the reinforced triangle) is the edge that fits into the channel in the window, next photo. The width is approx. 11/16" and the height is approx. 1/4".

This is the area were the pictured piece was removed. It is about 3/8" wide and the glass is 1/8". there is a small channel running the length of the larger channel. This smaller channel appears to be where the lip of the glazing snaps in. Sorry, but that is about the best I can do with the camera.

Ah, I see. Thank you! This looks somewhat like our 55-092. Check it out and let me know if you agree.

I agree. Not exactly it but the measurements seem to work. I'll give it a try.

Thanks.
