Replacement vinyl? strips which are used in old aluminum windows to hold glass snap/seal (triangular shaped)?
These are old aluminum windows with single pane glass held in and "caulked" using a gray colored vinyl/rubber type strip of material which is triangular shaped but has indented crevices so that the material snaps into place sealing the window pane. It is used instead of caulking. I don't know if it is a glazing strips. It is 5/16" by 3/8" by 1/2" and apparently could be cut into any length strips that you need. I have been unable to find it anywhere.

- We have ancient windows too!
I found a roll of this stuff at Home Depot. It was $21 for a 12 ft roll.
You cut off the length you need and it slides into the little groove then you put the frame back together by pushing the aluminum back in plac over the plastic corner "joists". Try their web site( i haven't checked) if there isn't a home depot in your area. Lowes is another option, but I typically don't shop there ( HD is closer for me)
- I don't know were you live but we have them here in kansas at any hardware or window glass shop.
- And they crack with age and crumble -- have a local glass shop that has the pieces--
You could use the rope caulk-- thing is-- that strip is all that is keeping the glass in the frame.
good luck
- Single pane glass? BUY NEW WINDOWS.
