Found this;
M-D Building Products 04267 17-Feet Storm Door and Window Replacement Weather-strip
Peel and stick, looks and works great.
Pulled out the old stuff on the rear sliding window, cleaned with alcohol, stuck the new on. I don't think you would wver get the stuff back into the rail it came out of unless you had an open end to slide it into.

I removed the windows and pull the old moe hair seals out. Then I cleaned side tracks with alcohol and stuck the new moe hair on. Do not pull out the rail the window slides on. Just like new again. I do not think you could slide in new moe hair in the track you pulled it out of unless u took the window frame apart or notched the old track to slide the old style back in again. Good luck with urs, I'm happy mine now.

Hello, Wondering where you got the replacement moe hair? Looks like mine has pretty much been destroyed by age and moss. The windows require herculean strength to open and close so I'm thinking new track inserts would help a lot. I'm assuming I'd have to scrape out the old grey fuzzy stuff that's there now and somehow affix new tracks with the fuzzy moe hair? Any insights appreciated.
