I'm hoping to replace this damaged vinyl (I think) trim of a bay window. I can't identify the window's manufacturer and can't figure out what this is called. Do you have anything like this, or give me an idea of what it is called? Greatly appreciated. -- Alex

I'm afraid I don't immediately recognize this piece. It looks like it could either be glazing bead or just part of the window frame itself. Can you describe what its function is? That would give me a better idea of what it is and whether any of our products can replace it.

It snaps into the gap to its left in the picture, filling in the gap. The grooves in the bottom of the channel lock into the underside of the frame. I think it is just a cosmetic piece that covers the frame that holds the three panels of the bay window together

Thanks for confirming. This is a piece of vinyl trim, which we unfortunately do not carry. You would need to check with the installer or supplier of the window. If not, you can possibly cut a piece of wood trim or the plastic type Azek trim and attach it with double stick tape. I know that's not ideal but it would be usable in a pinch.
