Hello. This is called wool pile weatherstripping. To identify a proper replacement, you have to remove a sample and measure the size of the base as well as the height of the pile, then compare to our selection here. Wool pile dimensions are very precise, often going into the X/32" range, so be as detailed as possible. See the videos below for more information.

Thank you for the information. How do I get the strip off of the door frame? The corners do not show any area to be able to access and slide them out. See photo previously sent.

If there are no cutouts in the track, then you will need to use the cut out method as per the video shared above.
