Snap-in angled vinyl glazing

Question

Ordered some parts from you in '11 and '12 that worked out great. Now need some parts for my garden window without mfg name, might be Acorn. The original weather proofing stiles from early 1980's is warped due to UV; and cold wind blows thru in winter, between glass and the metal frame. The parts are just under 3 ft long. They are 1/2 inch wide on face, and 9/16 inch deep. I'll attach a drawing &/or photo with greater detail.

I also have an aluminum garden window and have found it to be very cold in the winter. I can't say that replacing the glazing strips will cut down the wind. Check the sealant that holds the glass to the frame. Being old, the sealant might have dried up.

In regards to this glazing strip, our 55-127 profile looks like a match, except the back leg is 3/4" compared to your 9/16". When I was in the field and came across this type of situation, I would trim the back leg with a razor knife for it to fit. I also pulled up two other possible replacements you could consider, like our 55-017 and 55-029.
