Please help me identify and replace this vinyl window bottom sash seal.
Below is a picture with dimensions of the seal that is attached to my lower single-hung vynl window sash. I would like to identify a suitable replacement seal and would be ordering enough for all seventeen windows in my home.

We have two options that look similar to what you have: our 58-171 and 58-182. Look over the detailed measurements of each part. Could either of these parts work for you? Let us know.

Our home was built in 2001. Contractor grade vinyl double hung windows. No identifying stickers on any windows in house.

Attached is a photo of what I believe is called a bulb gasket for the bottom of the windows.

Best measurements are as follows (weather stripping has oxidized and broken; tough to get an accurate measurement):

Flat side (faces outside on bottom) 1/4" height

Bulb: !/4" height, 1/4" width (has foam filling)

Width of track 3/16"

Need enough replacement stripping for 17 windows.

Kind of a rush job - I am due to have surgery in 10 days.

Thanks!

Hey, Charles. I'm afraid I cannot identify what you have from these photos. We'll need you to remove a small sample and show us a picture of its end profile. If you look at the first picture in this thread, we'll need something like that. That's a perfect picture. Please make sure the sample is as undamaged as possible. We probably won't be able to ID what you have if there are pieces missing.
