Claim 20:
21. A method of operating a fenestration system, comprising:
in response to a closure element of the fenestration system being moved in translation, relative to a frame of the fenestration system, to a closed position, magnetically actuating a carrier mounted to a stile of the closure element to an extended position relative to the closure element, the stile having a longitudinal dimension extending substantially perpendicular to a direction of translational movement of the closure element relative to the frame, and
in response to the closure element being moved in translation relative to the frame to an open position, magnetically actuating the carrier to a retracted position relative to the closure element,
wherein a weather strip is attached to the carrier and is in contact with the frame in the extended position of the carrier and spaced from the frame in the retracted position of the carrier, and
wherein actuating the carrier to the extended position and actuating the carrier to the retracted position comprise moving the carrier relative to the closure element along the longitudinal dimension of the stile.
