Need 5/8" high pile weatherstrip for sliding door

Anyone know where to get t-slot weatherstrip that's 3/8" wide and about 5/8" tall for the overlap area on stationary and sliding doors. My doors are 20 years old and the mfg Dorwal is out of business. I've searched and could only find 3/8" high except for one manufacturer in NY who does 5/8" except minimum purchase is 5000 feet!

Check with a local glass shop or a door and window supplier, if you can find one locally.

I don't think you can buy from Strybuc but they may give you the name of a dealer near you. The highest pile I see is slightly under 3/8". You might be able to use the 3/8" in the T slot on the operating door and put a piece of self adhesive pile on the stationary door where they meet.
