Upvc glazing bead type

[Kurisu]

Hi, can anyone tell me what type of beading this is called. I’ve tried looking through the internet but have had no joy. I need to change the window in my bathroom but the beading is broken.
Thanks in advance.

Try a google image search. There's a couple of results that come up with this specific profile

How 'broken' is the beading? You do not in fact need 100% flawless beading around the full perimeter of the window. If it only one piece, or even part of one piece then position that one at the top or towards the top if it's a side piece. It won't be noticeable.

It’s the plastic part I need more than the rubber part, but thanks for the suggestion.

That's what I mean, the plastic part.
I have a window in a property that has the upper beading missing entirely. It got thrown away by mistake and is no longer possible to purchase. There is no water ingress as it's up and under the overhang of the wide frame and any that does get in will simply drain out of the bottom weep holes. I admit, it does look a little unsightly but I have no option.
My point, if you do end up 'making do' then it's not the end of the world.
