Snap in Superseal Glazing Bead

Home Owner from Orange County, NY

Hi. Sierra Pacific which acquired Superseal suggested I contact you for this replacement part.


I have 13-15 year old Superseal vinyl windows that I'm in process of replacing some of the glass as they have become defective. I've cracked several of the snap in molding? (glazing?) that resides on the inside of the window and helps hold it in the window frame. This molding goes around the entire interior of the window circumference. It is Vinyl/Plastic, white, and 3/4'' wide. See pics attached. Do you have any of this material or can you obtain it? What would the cost be for a 6 foot section? If not available, what would you recommend as a replacement?

I'm having trouble identifying this. May we see a clearer view of the end profile? Your third picture is close, but it's still a little hard to make out. Also, I assume the 3/4" measurement is the face of the snap-in. If so, what is the size for the leg that goes behind the glass?

See attached pic which hopefully shows the profile better. Yes, the 3/4" is the face of the snap and is what you see when installed on the window. The leg is 1/4". If you notice in the profile the leg has a small semicircle at the end which is what "snaps" into the frame holding the window in place. Thanks.
