correct weatherstripping to order?

We can't find an exact match on your site.? The .270. 58-171 and the .187. 58-182 look similar, but where they fit into the top of the window, it looks like a different fit -- only one side sticks out ( on ours, both sides protrude) and the part that sticks out is different.

Our piece matches the same "slot" part design shown on your product 58-053 but the rest wouldn't match -- yours is hollow and has no offset piece.

Please advise on what to order? (We need to order at least 75 feet)

Thanks!

I'm afraid that your photos are a little too blurry for me to make out, so I can't confirm if any of the seals you mentioned are a match. Can you try uploading those pictures again? I will then do my best to come up with a solution for you.

That's a huge help, thanks. I actually do think that our 58-053 is our best option. The fact that ours is hollow compared to yours being foam-filled shouldn't be much of an issue; in my experience, foam seal and hollow seal both do the same job equally well.

The extra strip coming out of the bubble itself may be an issue, in terms of clearance, however. The bad news is that we just don't have anything like that with the same straight kerf.

If you'd like, you can order a sample of the 58-053 from this page to try out. That way you can see how well it works without having to commit to a purchase.
