1. A fenestration system, comprising:
a closure element movable in translation relative to a frame between an open position and a closed position, the frame configured to surround a fenestration opening in a building structure, the closure element comprising a stile with a longitudinal dimension extending substantially perpendicular to a direction of translational movement of the closure element relative to the frame;
a carrier mounted to the stile of the closure element and movable relative to the closure element along the longitudinal dimension of the stile between an extended position and a retracted position;
a weather strip attached to the carrier and arranged to contact the frame in the extended position of the carrier;
one or more retraction magnets arranged to exert a first magnetic force on the carrier to move the carrier into the retracted position in the open position of the closure element; and
one or more extension magnets arranged to exert a second magnetic force on the carrier to move the carrier into the extended position in the closed position of the closure element.
