Sizing for wool pile weatherstripping.

Hi. I am replacing the wool pile from the aluminum windows from my 1963 home. After 6 decades, they seemed to be worn out from the harsh extreme Las Vegas heat after 6 decades. it has a metal / aluminum backing and is 1/4" wide and 1/4 inch high, but I'm thinking perhaps the height should be higher since it's worn out?. Should the height be higher than it currently is? What is the best replacement?

Thank you.

Hello,

We do not carry any wool pile with your exact measurements but the 58-045 is close. We can't determine if your pile height was larger at one time but you can measure the gap in your window to determine if 1/4" would suffice or if you might need something larger. Take a look and see what you think.
