I am looking for some vinyl "v-strip" weatherstripping material. I've
found some at ACE hardware but it is not preformed to the v-shape I
was hoping for (it comes flat and you have to fold it.) This is to fit
in the frame of a metal window to cut down on the air leaks. If some
one could point me to some other sources for some vinyl that is
extruded in the v-shape I'm looking for I'd greatly appreicate it. Or,
feel free to make some other suggestions on material to use. For what
it's worth I don't think I have enough space for the "fuzzy"
weatherstrip.

The old spring flashing is still made:

Have you asked at ACE or another complete hardware store,
especially an old one?
