Default Fixing plastic hooks to uPVC window frames

I am trying to fit chinese blinds
(http://www.ikea.co.uk/webapp/wcs/sto...y?storeId=7&la
ngId=-20&catalogId=10101&productId=10842) to uPVC windows in my house
without much success - I want to try and avoid having to use plugs and hooks
so initially I bought self adhesive plastic hooks but they were of no use as
they wouldnt hold them up and kept coming away from the window frames. I
then bought "No more nails" but again its not very effective probably as
both surfaces are non porous.

My question is, other than using plugs and hooks, can anyone recommend a
method of attaching the plastic hooks to the uPVC windows which wont come
off and also, importantly, wont "damage" the uPVC frames? BTW the blinds are
between 1.2 and 2.6kg in weight

Thanks

Jason
