Window Bottom Seal

Handy Person from Oklahoma
Looking for the type of seal to replace on the bottom of the window. I believe the windows in our home are Better Bilt. There are a few windows that still have the strip and it is black rubber. The Oklahoma heat has dried them out and made them brittle. Some are missing completely. Slot is really small 1/16".

It's unfortunately not possible to identify what kind of weatherstripping you have based on this photo. We will need you to remove a small, undamaged sample and show us a clear picture of the end profile. The video below will clarify precisely what I mean.

I know that your seal is brittle, so getting an undamaged sample will be difficult, but it must be done. It's not possible to identify a match otherwise. Figure that the more deteriorated it is, the less likely it will be that we can find a match. There's no other way.

Here is photos on the rubber seal under the windows. Really tough to remove because of how brittle it is from sun. Let me know if replaceable.

Thank you. Looking at the end profile in your second picture, I'm sorry to say that nothing in our inventory appears to be a match. We don't sell any window weatherstripping that has the same design or installs the same way as this appears to install.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Is there possibly a stick on option? I don't know if I could even get it out of the track.

Adhesive seal is always an option, though not one that we currently supply. A local hardware store may sell an adhesive type wool pile that may be compatible with your window depending on the kind of gap you need to seal.
