Weatherstripping for double hung windows

The windows are 21 years old. The name on the latch is Alenco. The rubber piece when flattened is the same width as the piece it sits on which is 5/16 of an inch. At that point the piece wraps down 3/16 of an inch and then into a groove

I'm not sure what to recommend. I'm reminded of our 58-055 with an angled base, but I'm not sure if yours pushes into a slot, or is installed some other way. The kerf almost looks like its made of hard vinyl. Look over the 58-055 and see what you think.

It does push into a slot. I will check out the number you mentioned

I also have this pile weatherstripping. The base is 3/16 inch wide and the pile is 1/8 inches high with a thin rubber piece that runs in the middle. It slips into a groove

Thank you. I'm afraid we don't have anything that matches your bubble seal. It is a very peculiar type. As for the wool pile, our 58-001 is the closest we have to your dimensions. See what you think.

Is there anything that you could recommend that would work for the bubble seal?

Unfortunately, we don't have anything that is comparable. I apologize for the inconvenience.
