Where do I get this felt weatherstripping?

I have this felt weatherstripping on my windows and sliding glass door that needs replacing. It slides into a groove on the metal frame. A picture is at

I've looked for it at Home Depot and Lowe's, and searched online, but I don't even know exactly what this stuff is called. Where can I find it, and what is the exact name for this type of weatherstripping?



My guess, felt.

Clip a sample and take it with you. Can you re-attach the strip or is it beyond repair? You can find a roll of felt strip...seen them, but forget where.

Looks like Schlegle stripping. Try a storm door/window outfit. Or a real hardware store.

Yep, it's Schegel. I was told that it was developed for the cockpit canopy of the Messeschmidt jet fighter. Anyone else heard that?

Nope, never heard of it. Building cockpits must be expensive with a weather strip VS home repair type material?

Go to a real glass company. They need all different types to do installs & repairs.

It's definitely not felt.

I call it mousefur, but technically it is a kerf mounted pile weatherstripping, and any local window or storm door mfr should have it.
