Sliding Glass Patio Door Plastic Interlock Weatherseal Broken

There is a plastic "U" shaped channel that forms the weather seal where the 2 sliding glass doors meet. It's attached to one of the doors by a few screws it seems and the other door fits snug into the open end of the "U" shape as they close.

My problem is it's plastic (stiff vinyl maybe?) and there are a few chunks broken out of it. I can't find the manufacture label on the door anywhere other than the glass itself says "Guardian Glass" on a very small label. Anyone know where I can find this replacement piece?

Thanks
Gene

You're not going to get a replacement piece without a manufactuers name.

Basement window cost

I have 4 more-or-less standard basement windows that I wish to replace. The house was built in 1982 and has the steel frame in the poured concrete walls. What would the price point be for replacing these windows? Just the windows, I can install them myself... If you have any links of mfgs/supliers that would be great. Right now I can only find them on the shelf at Lowes fir about $70...they are Pellas but would be happy top spend less for a non-name brand...

I purchased a condo 3 years ago that had windows recently (within a year of my purchas) installed. Within the last year the caulking around the windows have cracked. I recaulked them both outside and inside. Within a few months the caulking cracked again. And I again recaulked. This is now the third time this year i have replaced the caulk. Seems like a bigger problem, any suggestions?
