Hi

I need to fit two new glass panels in an aluminium greenhouse. The
other panels are fitted using "W" clips. I have bought new W clips but
am bewildered how to fit them. Does anyone have any tips please?

The "leg" of each W hooks under the frame edge and the lower section sits
alongside the glass to hold it down.
3 per side usually suffices

Thanks, but how do you push the glass and clips back into the frame
while holding all the clips in position?

I know you're not avin a larf, because these things are indeed
mysterious.

He meant: you put the glass in position in the frame. *Then* you hook
each leg under the frame edge, in such a way that the "lower section" is
pressed against the top surface of the glass -- the points of the W
prongs push against the frame, and the W lower/flat section presses
against the glass.

Sounds simple as I describe it there (OK - no it doesn't), but in fact I
usually have to try it 3 or 4 times before I work out the technique. It
*is* a technique, and it's bloody simple ... once you remember what it
is.

BRILLIANT!! He even demonstrates what I do every flipping time (at
least twice for the same W), namely "get it the wrong way round".

Thanks Si/Mungo

Thank you all very much for your replies. I'll have a go next weekend!
This newsgroup is a great place for help.
