Can someone tell me the name of this PVC door part

Goose81

Hi all,

Not really DIY as I will be taking out a PVC door and fitting it higher but does anyone know the name of this piece?

It's an adjustment piece and I need a fresh one I can cut down as the gap will be larger once I have remounted it higher.

I don't need any advice on the remounting or anything to do with it, I have moved every window in this house as none were installed correctly or level but none needed this part so I know what needs to be done.

You can see it at the very bottom, it's a height adjuster piece that purely aesthetic and to ensure a good seal. I assume it's generic on every PVC door..

Thanks

Never seen the likes of that before.

It's not some oddity like a kick-bar to protect the seal? Or not some protection so that the window can't get lifted out (if the retention is on the exterior)?

No, it seems to be used on all the windows and doors whereby if there is any gap it's used as a cover. It's on all the windows and doors but only on the bottom.

I had one of them out when I was fixing the windows, it's literally just a strip of plastic. I assumed every PVC door or window would use the same sort of thing
