BIL has a door with an uncommon kerf size for push-in weatherstrip. I’ve had no luck finding replacement Googling, Pemko, Q-Lon, RCT, etc.
Door is 100 miles away so I haven’t seen it, but he told me that the common 1/8″ kerf stuff that he got at HD was too small. Measuring it appears a 1/4″ would be more like it. Anybody encountered this / got a resource?
Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.

Not sure, but try Resource Conservation Technologies in Baltimore, Md. They often advertise in FHB.
RCT was my first thought, but everything they have is 1/8" unless I want to modify stops somehow. Was hoping to find something I could just send to BIL, he could replace it but probably be kinda lost beyond that.

Oh my! That stuff looks like the gasketing I put in my automobile trunk many years ago, when the original stuff gave out.
Is this on a sliding surface, like a house door? Or is it a simple compression, like you might see at the bottom of a garage door. The reason I ask is that the design, with a foam inside is not going to survive a lot of rubbing.
The foam bead is what pushes into the kerf on door stop, conventional swinging exterior door. Installed in remodel around 15 years ago. Most all I've encountered has a barb arrangement of some kind.
I'm thinking this may have been the early years for this type of seal and the industry has landed on the 1/8" standard width since.
It does look similar to automotive seals, but has the nylon? sheath over foam for wear resistance. The cats tore it up in their demands to be inside the house!
