Greetings. Could you to flip your snap-in glazing over and give us a picture of its end profiles? Providing dimensions would also be most helpful. Thank you.

The longest side is about 0.5 inches wide (left curved side)
The slot for the glass is about 9/32 inches wide at its base (horizontal).

Hm. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't make out how this snap-in works. Could we see it installed in the window sash? That may give us a clue on what could work as a replacement. Many thanks.

The small 1/8 inch channel appears to catch the near edge of the window frame - see attached.

Thank you for the additional photos. We feel you can use our 55-196 gray vinyl snap-in for your window sash. Please compare it to your sample and see what you think!
