There are no markings on the windows, which are original installation wood windows approximately 45 years old. The vinyl glazing inserts appear to have begun to warp and shrink from sun exposure over the 45 years. The storms are now covered with a low-e screening material to reduce the impact of the sun.

Hey, thanks for contacting us. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with your beading, and I'm not sure it's still available. If you can, show us some photos of how it is attached to the window sash. That might help us identify the part.

Thank you for the additional information! Unfortunately we were not able to find an exact replacement for your vinyl glazing. However, we do have one possible substitution, though I'm not sure if it will work. See our 55-069 glazing strip and let me know if you think you could get this to work.
