We need to replace the V020 Stile Weatherstripping on four sets of our Marvin french patio doors. Can you recommend a replacement product in black or bronze?

Thanks for posting. We don't have an exact match, but see our 58-055 or 58-053. Go over the dimensions and let me know if you think you could use one of these as a substitute.

I can start a new thread if necessary, but let's see if this is still being monitored!

I have the same issue. I just measured the V020 and it's got a 3/16" bulb, offset just a little bit so that the edge of the bulb lines up with the kerf. The bulb itself has a stand about 1/16" so its top is about 1/4" above the door edge. The big difference is the tang - the kerf is about 1/2" deep, and its anchors are about 3/16" wide.

So I think the 58-055 is offset too far into the door frame (the kerf's on the outer edge of the door), and I'm not sure if the 58-053 has a long enough tang to stay in the door -- plus it's centered on the kerf.

I'm not having much luck finding anything on the net except for ones that are pre-cut and would be about $200 each door!! Do you have any other recommendations, or do you think the 58-053 is my best bet?

I'm sorry to say that we don't have anything better for this seal. Our 58-055 and 58-053 remain our best possible options. I can't guarantee that they'll work, but we aren't able to provide a better match.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
