Hello,

Thanks for posting! The piece you are searching for is the storm door glass retainer. These are becoming increasingly hard to find since manufacturers often change the design of the strips every few years. Some are even opting not to use them.

In the past we've suggested cutting the existing strip into equal lengths, at a couple inches each. Then distribute those lengths evenly around the door. You don't need the whole strip to keep the glass in place.

The other option would be to use an insert clip like the 70-180 Storm Door Insert Clip. You'll need the 33-020 or 33-090 screw to install it. We have received confirmation that this has worked in many applications.

Thank you for your suggestions. Will start with the first once temperatures increase. If not successful, will try the suggested parts which I will note. I appreciate the feedback very much.
