My glass in my storm door became loose so I took it out. The gasket
holding it in place broke in several places. No one has the gasket and
they tell me to buy a new door. No one will help me or tell me how to
fix it. I have spent hours looking for a gasket and finally found this
site. Someone told me silicone would work. Someone else told me it
wouldn't work. No one carries the gasket. I thought maybe it was a
marine glazing gasket, but I can't find that either. I thought a
magnet gasket might work, but it is not for glass. It is a double hung
aluminum storm door and this glass is stationary on the bottom. It fits
into the opening. The glass is perfect. Right now I have foam board on
the door and I want to put the glass in myself. Surely, someone has a
solution to this simple problem.

Silicone caulking will work fine; and, it is available in white, black and
clear.

If you have a few pieces of the gasket to use to center the glass in
the door frame, say 2 or 3 pieces an inch long on each side then
silicone would work very well.

Just about any decent hardware store (Ace, True value etc.) will fix
it for
about 6 dollars.
