ABSTRACT:
A window assembly including a sliding window supported within a U-shaped window track utilizes a compressible foam strip with memory to prevent the accumulation of debris in the window track. After the foam strip has been cut to the length of the window track, it is compressed and pressed into place so as to substantially fill the window track to prevent an accumulation of debris therein, and yet not interfere with movement of the sliding window. In this regard, the foam strip is fitted to the window track so that as the foam strip expands, its cross-sectional dimensions are such that the window may be supported on a window-supporting rail with little or no contact between the window and the foam strip. After debris which would otherwise have accumulated within the window track is collected on the foam strip, the foam strip is removed from the window track.
