Default Double Glazing seals?

My 15 year old upvc conservatory is leaking a bit and has some
drafts. It appears the black rubber seals around the glass have shrunk
leaving 15-20mm gaps in the corners.

When you come to fit the new seals, cut them 2 or 3 inches too long,
and start in the corners and work toward the centre of the pane. You'll
find a loop forms as you go along, but it's amazing how much can be
forced in.HTH.


I asked a similar question a couple of years ago IIRC, and although I
didn't try very hard, I never did spot a supplier for it !
