Window slides and bay door gaskets question

This is what the sliding window rests in and slides back and forth. Now on the outside of each slide window then as well there is a gap between the sliding window and the frame. This gap is covered by a rubber molding trim piece that keeps this area dry I suppose and also probably keeps that felt track in place since it abuts against it.

I can't find anyone who carries it. Hehr, Peninsula and anyone else I could send a pic of it to on the Internet. Most of my windows Re missing bits of this And what is there is brittle. I will post a couple pics in a moment. Does anyone have a suggestion. Every time I call Newell Chucks Answer is no. I get the feeling in this era of Newell they built them with whatever was available or anyone would ask for.

Ok guys I have looked for this silly window molding or seal or whatever they are called until I am about blind, but to no avail. I will look at the windows again tomorrow to see if i can even see who manufactured the stupid windows. Last time i called Peninsula (Windows in Motion) their customer service dude had zero time for me. he kept asking "is my company name on the windows?" "Newell just tells everyone their our windows, but that's not true". Well I can tell what is the truth if I ever need to replace the windows I will never use those guys based on this guys service.

Guys take a lookn at that piece again in the pics. It is a rubber molding that presses into the window track and fills the gap between the metal window frame and the rubber/felt track the window slides in. The little square body is about 1/4" by 1/4" then there is that little extension off of it.

I will look agaion for a window name tomorrow. I will also call Chuck again at Newell although he claimed he did not have that nor did he know where to get it. Now that struck me as odd since he had piles of the felt window track laying around to send me. This thing is driving me nuts.
