Default clad casement window weather seal

Not sure of terminology... weather strip, seal or gasket. I am
referring to item on all four sides of the movable part of window that
eventually wears out due to opening and closing window. Is there
anything that can be added to the groove in which the item is anchored
to prevent it from falling out with usage.. something that will not
make it impossible to remove if it needs replacing.

It sounds as if you need new gasketing. 3M weatherstrip adhesive would
be quite common to use to hold one in. Readily available at good auto
parts, etc - usually comes in black, yellow, or clear.
