What is this part of the storm door? (i.imgur.com)

I need to fix this strip on our storm door. I’m not sure what it’s called. It’s made of hard plastic but has warped from years getting baked in sun.

Anyone know what it’s called so I can go get replacement parts?

It just looks like a sealant. It keeps the glass panel fitted to the door frame.

First, get the measurements of your door and that sealant (x" by y"), then take that number and this photo to a nearby hardware store. Show someone the photo, and they will most likely recognize it and be able to help you.

I would first see if you can contact the manufacturer. My windows were done 20 years ago by a company called Wallside Windows and I called them just to see if they were under warranty when a seal leaked.

They sent a guy out and replaced the seal and windowpane at no cost. They have a lifetime warranty now.

Well, that's awesome! Thanks for the great recommendation!
