I need to replace the vertical seal (weatherstripping) on an outside french door. The door has a wooden track the seal slides through. I don't know the manufacturer of the door, and have struck out after taking a sample to the local home centers, hardware stores, and door/window stores. Even Home Depot couldn't help. All they could offer was the sticky sponge tape.

A cut-away view of the seal is available here (http://s92454869.onlinehome.us/seal.gif). The T on the left is what slides through the track.

Thanks in advance for any pointers on where I could find a replacement.
