Replacement weatherstripping for vinyl windows

I'm trying to replace the weatherstripping for my vinyl double-hung windows.
the old strip measures 3/16 by 3/16 with a center vinyl strip (actually 2, side by side). Do you sell this type. If not, how important are the center vinyl strips? Can I substitute the 58-002 or the 58-127?

Good Afternoon,
Can you send us a photo or drawing of the profile of your existing weatherstripping? This would help us understand exactly what you are trying to replace. |

The center vinyl strips are known as "fin seal." Although the 58-002 Wool Pile does not have a fin seal, I don't think it would be much of an issue for you application.
