Sure, always interested in what others have done.
On mine, and I don't know how common window designs are, the sliding windows
have a groove that has a pile-type weather strip that goes around a metal
"blade" above, below, and at the forward edge of the frame. I don't see any way
to renew that strip.
There is, in the channels to each side of the forward "blade," foam
weatherstripping. This looks like it was an add-on, presumably for the same
noise reason. It is old, dry, cracked, and not doing its job. I went to a large
hardware store today to buy some of the same stuff, and nearly did (1/8 thick,
1/4 wide foam), but then I spotted some 1/4-inch wide pile stripping, and
decided to go with that. The old foam came out fairly easily, and the pile went
in easily. It will be a couple of days before we move again, so I won't know
until then if the fix worked.
