Window trim/glazing material

Quick Learner from Palmer, Alaska
I have a window that lost two strips of trim during a wind storm.  I am not sure how to remove to get a measurement on width.  The length on both are about 28".  I have another window that was hit in the upper right hand corner during the same window storm. I sealed it with gorilla tape. The last item is a small water drain cap.  3 are missing.  They are 1 3/16" long and 3/8" wide. Pictures are attached,

Hello! Looks like you need new snap in glazing. These are the vinyl strips that keep your glass pane in the window. I'll share a video on the proper removal method. I need to see a clear and undamaged sample, specifically from an angle that shows the end profile. In the meantime you can see our full glazing selection here.

Regarding the weep hole cover, I'd like you to tell me the height and width of the hole. Please make sure to write your dimensions out in your response; a photo of a tape measure will not be sufficient.

I've attached a photo as requested. It appears the snap-in glazing 55-192 matches one of the two in the picture at 5/8" across the curved section. However, the second second piece in the picture is 3/4 across the curve. The 5/16" measurement matches both pieces. I am not sure if 55-192 will work for the 3/4" piece. I have 3 pieces missing after a terrible windstorm. Two are the 3/4" style and one is the 5/8".

The weep hole cover dimensions are 1 1/4" x 3

Thanks, Mitch! I agree that our 55-192 looks like a good fit. I've never seen this made with a 3/4" leg, though. That's pretty big. Could it just be that the leg straightened out over time? These should be the same glazing style on all edges of the window.

Regarding the weep hole cover, we don't have anything in this exact size. I think your best bet may be our 26-186. This is a very versatile cover that can work for many window styles, but the catch is that you do need to drill new holes. The video below will show you exactly how this is done, step by step.
