Hi Ruben, thank you for posting,

Unfortunately we are not able to cross reference the information provided. To move forward we will need to see a piece of the glazing removed from the window where we can view the end profile. Thank you!

Hey there! Lauren isn't in today, but I think I can assist you. This glazing appears to match our 55-303. This is a genuine Andersen glazing that also happens to be 3/8", same as yours. Look it over and let me know what you think, or if you had any questions.

Thanks Tom, I think this is it.I have a few more questions. I noticed from your replacement video that these pieces are cut to fit as opposed to getting exact lengths, is this correct?

In addition, it looks like the video cuts the ends straight and the pieces that I am removing have a 45 degree end that mates with the other piece that frames into it. Any guidance on this?

I would like to order one piece to see how it goes but it looks like I may need more than one.

The video we have on replacing glazing bead is mostly concerned with generic products. the 55-303 is an Andersen brand product, meaning it's more specific to the window itself and therefore it may follow its own rules. If your old glazing is cut to an angle, then you should do the same with this. The rule of thumb is to install it exactly how it was installed in the first place.
