I have a good measurement of the width but it is so compessed I'm not sure of the depth. Also, I'm concerned about reinstlling the pile. The tracks on the Alenco Windows I have are crimped on both ends. I had to cut the pile out with a knife. Any suggestions on reinstalling is appreciated.

Hello, judging by your photos and dimensions, I think our 58-021 will work as a replacement for you. Give it a good compare and let us know if you agree.

To reinstall the weatherstripping, use a thin screwdriver tip or chisel. Slide it under the groove and work it through the crimp end to open it up, so you can glide the wool pile through. When done, crimp it down to lock the weatherstripping in place. Hope this helps!
