I'd like to replace the strips shown in the photo that are installed on the exterior side of all my windows. The photos show the strip by itself and as installed on the widows. I refer to them as insulating strips, but they appear more for holding the windowpane in. They're rigid rubber approximately 3/8" tall and they slip into a groove along the aluminum window frame. Can you help?

Hello there! Thank you for contacting us. I'm not sure if we'll be able to help with this. It's hard to say for sure from these photos though. Would it be possible for us to see a shot of the end profile for this strip?

I've attached a photo showing the end profile. I saw Product Code: 55-106-6 on your website, looks quite similar. Do you think it may be a match?

I'm afraid we don't sell an exact match for your strip. It could be no longer available. However, the 55-106-6 is still a bit different so we can't be certain it will work.

We do offer samples so let me know if that's something you're interested in. You'll just have to pay for shipping.
