Paul,
I googled Kinco and found that you sell some parts for their windows now that they are defunct.
I have two drop-down windows nominally 20" x 36" for a total of 40" x 72". Not sure if drop-down is the correct term. Anyway the windows are designed to be used to pass through plates and dishes on a countertop.As a result, there is no bottom frame, the windows close directly on the countertop.
The foam tape that completed the closure fit in a groove at the bottom of the window that is 5/8" wide. The gap from the bottom of that groove to the outer flange that extends down the farthest is almost another 5/8".The gap from the bottom of that flange to the countertop is about 1/8.
So what I need is some foam tape that is 5/8" wide and 5/8" thick at a minimum but ideally 3/4" thick. I can't find it at Ace, Home Despot, Lowe's or the one window place I've checked so far.
If foam tape in those dimensions is not available, is there some kind of seal that uses a hollow rubber gasket like those used for doors and sometimes for garage door bottoms?
Thanks for your help.
Jay
