Where D Seal meets the Side pile weather stripping -Jalousie

Hi Friends,

Completing the finishing touches on my Hehr Jalousie window. I need confirmation on the length of the D seal as well as the length of the side pile weather stripping.

In the picture below, you can see the end of the D seal is where my gloved finger is pointing. I will assume the D seal is too short and probably shrunk over time. If you look about 1” in the direction of the camera, you will see the side pile weather stripping sticking out.

I can’t remember if it stuck out on purpose so thus giving it a tab to grab with a pair of pliers for removal or replacement or I started to pull it out and did it later. I have already purchased the side pile weather stripping and I have the D seal.




So, when installing the new D seal and side pile weather stripping:

1. Do I leave a tab sticking out on the side pile weather stripping as seen in the image?

2. If I do, then do I have D Seal butt up against the tab or cut off the tab so I can run the D seal all the way to the end of the mounting groove?

Not sure if that’s clear?

Thanks,
Rod
