Brownell Quick Fix: Marvin Window Weatherstrip Replacement

Damaged or torn weatherstripping can decrease a window's performance. Marvin expert, Charles Pelsue, shows how easy it is to replace weatherstripping on your windows. Weatherstrip replacement is a normal part of maintaining your Marvin Windows.

Thanks for this. In FL the weatherstripping bulb and spline type harden up and leak like a sieve. I had replaced a couple by sliding in which was a pain, but your suggestion of using my screen spline tool made it a breeze. Thanks! Of course getting the spline size I need is still the biggest problem.

I'm glad we were able to help!

what about the weather strip in you briefly showed that goes across the top of the jamb against the top sash? All of mine have dry rotted and fallen out. How do you replace them?

Hello, I find this video very useful and will be working on our windows soon. I am having hard time understanding a small piece you took out of the window. Something like chimney block(Small piece of white spongy square block). Can you please let me know what exactly those are called and where will I find those to buy. Thanks a ton in advance.

Hello Henry, Thank you for your comment! Our Service Department has confirmed there is definitely replacement weatherstrip available for your Integrity unit. The weatherstrip profile may have been slightly modified to increase performance. The etching number you provided refers to the glass code only and does not necessarily describe your specific unit.
If you are local to any of our Windows & Doors By Brownell showrooms (Williston VT, West Lebanon NH or Plattsburgh NY) than please give us a call 800-773-4803 or email [e-mail] so we can pull the appropriate lengths. If you are outside of these areas, I recommend finding your nearest Marvin dealer at their website - www.marvin.com/find-a-dealer and they would gladly help you out.
Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you and have a great day!

Where can I purchase the Marvin weatherstrip shown at :38? I need to replace 30 casements total and cannot find this.

[@WindowsByBrownell]

Hello Stan! Thanks for watching. You will be able to get replacement weatherstrip at your local Marvin dealer. To find your local dealer go to marvin.com and click on "find a dealer" in the top right (when viewing on a computer). Some dealers may have to order it, whereas some may have it in stock. Hope this helps!

I can do this on apartment windows?

[@WindowsByBrownell]

Thanks for your question. This video applies to Marvin windows, so if your apartment has Marvin... then yes! If your windows are from another manufacturer I would recommend finding more information from them on their specific parts and instructions.
PS - I would recommend reaching out to your landlord if you think any adjustments need to be made to your windows.

[@sargenthp]

My rep pretty much told me they are not going to do anything... Even though I can see daylight between the jamb and window. Sounds like I am on my own anyway.

[@WindowsByBrownell]

+Hil Palmer are you dealing with Marvin or Integrity windows or doors? Please let me know your question/issue and we would be more than happy to find the best solution for you!

[@sargenthp]

Marvin... They are the vinyl line.

[@WindowsByBrownell]

+Hil Palmer Just for clarification, Marvin makes two fiberglass products (called Integrity and Infinity) however Marvin does not make any vinyl products. Replacing the weather-stripping can increase window/door performance, but if your windows are in poor condition there is only so much weather-stripping can do. Feel free to call our main office at 800-773-4803 so that we can find out more about the issues you are having and can help come up with the best solution.

[@sargenthp]

+Windows & Doors By Brownell I believe they were the Integrity. I thought they came about the same time I was building (2010). Our builder is the one that recommended them... with an up charge of course.

[@WindowsByBrownell]

+Hil Palmer If these windows were installed in 2010 then they are definitely still under the Marvin warranty. I recommend you fill out a service request on our website at this link: www.wdbrownell.com/services/service-department/

Good video, but the music is extremely distracting. Would be better with no music at all.

[@mrap8898]

The problem isn't knowing the seals need replacing, the problem is finding the parts. Marvin Window sellers are NOT interested in selling weatherstripping, finding parts
that match Marvin windows is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE and the Marvin window sellers do not give a shit after the sale. Overpriced windows made with gimmicky weather stripping that is pretty much no longer made if you need the parts. Pretty close to criminal products.

[@WindowsByBrownell]

Thank you for your comment and I am sorry you are having trouble finding Marvin parts. At the Windows & Doors By Brownell showrooms we have our own service and parts department with a wide variety of replacement parts - including most types of weatherstripping! Parts we may not have in-stock can always be ordered. We always recommend bringing in the part you need (or a picture of it) so that we can make sure to match it up to the right type and vintage.
Windows & Doors By Brownell serves Vermont, Upper Valley of New Hampshire and the Adirondacks of New York. If you are out of this area, I recommend finding your closest Marvin dealer at Marvin.com. Your local dealer will be able to get the parts that you need!
