1/4" x 1/4" foam sq with white plastic film(?)covering. The wood slot is 1/4" wide to accept with foam piece. The slot is 33 7/8" wide (actual tape measure of bottom of wood frame). The foam piece is also lightly glued in the slot. I need to replace the weatherstripping in 5 identical windows. In the picture, I taped the foam to the wood frame right above the receiving slot This is the top window of the double hung. The slot is cut in the bottom frame to met up with the bottom window where the window latch is when you lock the window. Hope you can help me purchase this item. Thanks

Hi there!
I'm afraid I can't ID what you have here. Can you remove an undamaged sample and show us a photo of the end profile? The related video will explain in more detail.

Sorry for the delay but I am not that computer literate and I have to call my son for instructions on how to get a picture from my camera to my computer to you
When I went to school we used a hammer, chisel, and stone to communicate !!!
Thanks, again

Thanks for getting back to us. It looks like the backing that is used to install your seal may be missing. If so, you would need to determine if your foam seal uses a T-shaped backing or kerf to determine if any of our seals could work for your repair. In the meantime, we've related a few similar options on this page for you to review.

Checking to see if the Handy Person from Chicago ever located a source for the 1/4" square seal material? I am looking for the same weatherstripping that goes bereeen the upper and lower double hung window sashes.
