I have a Weathervane sliding wood patio door and the door seals are cracked and separating (see photos). The seal strips fit into an aluminum channel. Not sure if they are snapped-in or fastened in some other manner. The channel width is approximately 1/2". The seal appears to have a 90 degree corner on one side and a flared piece of plastic sticking-out the other side. The total dimension across the face of the seal is approximately 3/4". This type seal is installed all around the frame opening. The 90 degree side seals the sliding door to the frame on the side of the door and on the bottom of the door, the flared piece seals the based of the door. Not sure how to remove this strip. Please advise on replacement strips and removal techniques. If you need further information, let me know.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for writing in, Bob. We may be able to help replace this glazing bead for you, but we'll need you to remove a sample and show us a picture of its 'end profile'. From there, we'll see what we can narrow down. If you need assistance, see the video below. |

I'm afraid I'm not sure, either. If your glazing doesn't work like how we show in our video, then I'm not sure how else it could work. It's possible yours is caulked in, which is obviously an issue, but otherwise all glazing more or less installs the same way. If yours is a special case then you should contact the original makers of the window to see what they recommend. |
