Weather Stripping Needed

I was wondering if anyone familiar with the size of brush weather stripping for the sides of MI Windows where the sash meets the frame. Our house is only 1 1/2 years old and I had a window serviceman replace some with slight larger weather stripping, but was wondering if I could do it myself. So I talked to MI Windows. They told me it is a standard brush pile. They also told me they are welded in place and aren't designed to be replaced. The thing is, I had a serviceman that used to work for MI replace a few that were showing gaps. I just didn't want to have to pay for it again since the house is less than 2 years old. This is why I wanted to do it myself. Your thought and advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Our 58-127 is very poplar for vinyl windows and seems to match your dimensions. check it out and let me know what you think.

Do you have one with the same base, but somewhat larger pike height. Greater than 1/4 inch. Thank you

Hmm... we have the 58-158. It is slightly wider at the base with 7/32", but it is 5/16" high.

One more question. What is your advice for placing the strip in a channel that was previously welded. It looks like one side of the T channel was crimped making it difficult or impossible to slide new stripping in the T channel. Thanks again for your help.

Sure! I would carefully open the crimp channel with a sharp flat putty knife by sliding it under the lip, which should allow the weather strip in.
