glazing bead help

A home owner from Afton, VA says:

We have two Garden Windows manufactured by Alenco and installed in our house 30 years ago. I need to remove and clean the glass and reinstall it. So I am having a devil of a time finding a snap-in vinyl glazing bead that will replace the original glazing bead that I will remove. The old bead just splinters and cracks when removing it. I am attaching a detailed photo with dimensions. Hope you can help! Thanks in advance.

Take a look at our 55-017, 55-080 and 55-127. These glazing strips are a push in type like yours. You might be able to adapt one of these to fit your window. In some cases, you might need to cut the attachment leg to fit into the depth of the frame, but it's tough to say if that will be necessary or not.
