around a metal "blade" above, below, and at the forward edge of the
frame. I don't see any way to renew that strip.

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.
