Remove old felt

Quick Learner from Florida
I have Nuair single hung windows the felt is 3/16X1/4 pile. The only thing I see is 3/16X3/16, will this work? The track is crimped in two places. How do I uncrimp the track?
The bubble seal appears to be 1/8TX3/8bubble. All I see available is 3/16X3/8 Will this work?
Thanks,Lance

Hi, Lance. Before we take a closer look, can you send a photo of a cross-section of both of these weather seals? We'd like to see a "profile" angle, like this:

In my experience, it's very difficult to uncrimp a wool pile groove. It'd be best left alone. If you absolutely must uncrimp it, you could use a small flat head screw driver to pry it up. I still think it's more trouble than it's worth.

As for the two seals you carry, we don't have anything that matches your exact dimensions. You may be able to get one of ours to work anyway, though. You can see our entire selection here.
