Awning window weather seal

Question

I have awning windows that are about 45 years old. The weather seal around the glass is cracked and broken and needs to be replaced. I've looked at the weather seal that you have and the 3 ft. white strips look like they would work, but how do I get the damaged strips out? Do the new strips just snap in?

Any information on buying the correct strips and installing them would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks for reaching out! Can you confirm that this is weatherseal? The way you describe it, it sounds like it snaps over the glass, which sounds like glazing bead instead. This doesn't keep the weather out but instead holds the glass in the frame.
