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.hth John

least twice for the same W), namely "get it the wrong way round".
