Hello there!

I'm afraid I can't identify what you have here. Your seals are too damaged, unfortunately. Would it be possible for you to remove an undamaged sample and show us a clear view of the end profile for each seal? The more damaged it is, the less likely we are to ID it.

I have pieces of the kerf bubble seal and weather stripping off my windows now. What is the best way to photograph them to help you identify?

We'd need to see a clear photo of the end profile. The video below will go into more detail.

Thank you kindly! Our 55-106 resembles what you show here. Take a look at the specifications below and see if they match up with your old seal.

Mine is 5/8 inch i believe. Do you carry 5/8 inch?

We don't, unfortunately. This part is the closest option we can offer. I truly apologize for the inconvenience.

Emily,

I have similar old WEN (presently JELD-WEN) casement windows as this previous customer has. And I believe your leaf weather seal model 55-106 is similar to what I need (see photo). The "long" dimension of a remnant piece is slightly less than 3/8-in. (after wear) so I assume this is the right one. Do you still carry this model weather seal?

It's hard to say since your weather seal is so worn and damaged. However, we do offer a sample of the 55-106. Assuming you're interested in that, I'll go ahead and email you a link that will allow you to add a sample of the 55-106 to your cart.
