Casement windows/doors that crank open. Cannot fiqure out what type of weatherstripping will fit. Looks like I have kerf seal windows since the weatherstrip slides into slot. Tried FrostKing replacement but the seal pops completely on the outside of the window. The existing looks like the slide in is around 1/4" and the strip if 1/2". It is a hard plastic/vinyl and not a bulb or soft rubber. I need about 100 feet. First photo is the rotting sealer that has been painted. The third pic shows a window that hasn't been damaged or painted.

I'm not sure what you have, unfortunately. I'll need to see a photo of the end profile of your existing seal. The video below will show you what I mean.

difficult to get a good photo but here are several that hopefully will help identify what I need.

The manufacturer is Jeld Wen

Thank you. These pictures are a huge help. I can confirm that we don't have anything in this exact style, unfortunately, but I do wonder if our 58-055 can work. This seems like it works under the same principles. Look it over and let me know what you think.

Okay I'm willing to try a sample to see if this does the trick. Will go to website and order.
