When I had the windows fitted a couple of months back I told the
fitters to leave the quadrant between the window frame and the window
sill in my kitchen cause I intended to re-tile the kitchen. I've now
tiled (a whole number of tiles on the window sill left me with a gap of
less than 1cm between the tiles and window frame) and I am ready to put
the quadrant into place.
But how? I can't tell from the other windows if the only thing holding
the quadrant in place is the sealant, or if there is something else
doing the actual bonding.

Also, though the qaudrant will cover the gap with plenty to spare
should I still fill the gap with something first?

Thanks in advance from a hopeless amateur.

A form of superglue holds the quadrant to the frame and the sealant just
finishes it off. Obtainable as ordinary superglue for plastic from any of
the 'sheds'

When they did mine trims were held in place just with the sealant

My Daughter's house, which I am working on, had cowboys fit the windows
by the previous owner. As I refurbish each room I have to fix the
windows, and my preferred method is to use sealant to fit the trim, it
is neat and secure, with the added advantage that if you had to remove
it for any reason that would be fairly straight forward.
