A system for mounting a secondary panel within a window frame of an existing window. The system includes a rigid panel, an elongated deformable bulb, and an elongated carrier. The bulb has a resilient, rounded portion and a base section with at least one tongue extending from the base section. The carrier is configured to receive at least a portion of an edge of the panel within a panel gap and to receive, between opposing resilient prongs, the tongue of the bulb. The resilient prongs are configured to diverge to allow a distal end of the tongue to pass between the resilient prongs. Also disclosed is a system for mounting a flexible sheet within a window frame of an existing window.

1. A system for mounting a secondary, rigid panel within a window frame of an existing window in a building, the system comprising: a rigid panel having an edge;an elongated, deformable bulb having a resilient, rounded portion and a base section, the base section having at least one tongue extending from the base section; andan elongated carrier configured to receive at least a portion of the edge of the panel within a panel gap of the carrier, the carrier having at least one channel having opposing, resilient prongs, the at least one channel configured to securely receive, between the resilient prongs, the at least one tongue of the deformable bulb, the resilient prongs configured to diverge to allow a distal end of the at least one tongue to pass between the resilient prongs in which the bulb and the carrier are symmetric about a common centerline. 2. The system of claim 1, in which the at least one tongue is a pair of tongues symmetric about a centerline of the bulb, and in which the at least one channel is a pair of channels where each channel is configured to securely receive one of the pair of tongues between the resilient prongs of the channel. 3. The system of claim 2, in which the base section of the bulb includes a horizontal face and the carrier includes a top face, in which, when the pair of tongues is securely received into the pair of channels, the horizontal face of the bulb contacts the top face of the carrier. 4. The system of claim 2, in which the each of the pair of tongues includes shoulders at the distal end of the tongue, the shoulders configured to abut edges at distal ends of the resilient prongs. 5. The system of claim 2, in which the carrier further includes yieldable nubs within the panel gap, the nubs structured to support and retain the panel within the carrier. 6. The system of claim 2, in which the carrier further includes stabilizers on opposing sides within the panel gap, the stabilizers configured to provide lateral stability to the panel within the carrier, the stabilizers further configured to align the panel so that the panel is not symmetric about a vertical centerline of the soft-bulb portion. 7. The system of claim 2, in which the bulb further includes further includes friction ribs on an outer portion of the bulb, the friction ribs configured to increase friction between the bulb and the window frame. 8. The system of claim 1, in which the bulb has an internal corner groove at a transition between the rounded portion and the base section of the bulb.
