These rubber strips have all shrunk such that the roof sometimes
leaks. It doesn't always do it - it depends on wind direction - but
is nevertheless annoying. I would like to replace the rubber
strips, but don't know where to get replacements. I'm not quite
sure of the correct description for them, which makes Goggling
difficult! I would be very grateful for any help both in namimg them
correctly
and in suggesting suppliers who might be able to supply this stuff.
The original conservatory suppliers have long gone out of business,
so I can't ask them! I have a feeling that they got their materials
from Germany at the time, but I'm not certain of that. As far as
size goes, the max horizontal dimension (in the orientation of my
photo) is about 20mm and vertical 9mm.

TIA.

Any of this any use?

Never used them so not a recommendation.


Part number WS2272 looks possible...


Yes, thanks - and to Andrew!

I have contacted them and they are sending me a sample.
