Hi All,
I have one of these in my sliding glass door:
All the insulation I can find is meant to be hidden away, not facing direct exposure.
You guy have an suggestions?
Many thanks,

You shouldn't need much if you only want to equal the glass - especially with the leakage through middle-part of that partly-open slider. Do a nice paint-job on a piece of 5/4 wood decking ? John T.
I forgot about that part. I am going to push some paper towels into the slot.
I have a frequently unused slider that leaks even though I had it replaced under warranty. Not a big deal and I just bought some round foam strip insulation to put there.
If he wants to insulate the whole door I suggest the white styrofoam insulation with the aluminized mylar on one side .
There's this place.
Years ago, for a window A/C I improvised some "temporary" weather stripping by cutting pieces from a pool-noodle - it worked so well I re-used them for several years until I replaced the A/C. ... the only draw-back was the bright gaudy colour. Paper towels between the sliders... ? sure .. lol . John T.
The plastic piece that I gve the links to.
"aluminized mylar" sounds interesting.
It is Temporary. Makes a nice barrier and keeps flyes out
I am after insulating the plastic piece I posted the links to
You posted *2* links. One for the entire system and one for what appear to be the intake and exhaust ports.
The picture of the ports seems to include plastic piece*s*, not "piece".
You see why we're confused? What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
What a useless setup!!!!! The BIG issue is the gap between the doors - not between the door and the frame
Not styrofam - the urea foam.
T says he wants to insulate some plastic pieces. Who knows what he's thinking.
I want to insulate the plastic frame from the links I posted.
I will use some of that closed cell insulator strip to fill in the gap on the door gap
This look ideal:
This seems interesting:
