Hello,

We should be able to help but we'll need to see a piece of your glazing removed from the window and from a side profile as shown below to get started. Dimensions are always helpful as well. Thank you!

Hello,

Please take a look and compare our 55-194 white vinyl glazing bead to yours. Make sure that the dimensions line up and let us know if you need anything else. You can use a razor blade to cut it down to size if you need to. Also, if you need replacement latches of some kind, feel free to send us soem pictures of those as well. Thank you!

A home owner from FL says:
Yes. I think that's it. I've also found the latches. There is a clear gummy adhesive on the end of the piece. Is that something i should use when replacing the beading?

We don't typically use adhesive when replacing glazing since that means it will make replacing that replacement much harder in the future. No glazing lasts forever and you don't want to permanently adhere them to the window if you can help it. If you watch the video below you can see how we do it.
