I was in the same position regarding such clips for some windows in my mother's house.

Found them on the web - can't remember where now - and was so disgusted by the gouging price we decided it made more sense to replace the windows. Sure it cost a lot more but I couldn't bear to see that much money basically go down the pan - the windows were never that good and were way past their best anyway.

But a tip - look very carefully at the clips and try to identify any markings on them, especially maker's name. That is what enabled my searches to find what I wanted.

Just to update this question.

I have Everest secondary glazing with the afore-mentioned plastic clips. I couldn't find replacements anywhere on the internet. Rang Everest [0800 140 4936]and they cost £5.00 postage for as many as yo u need, i asked for 40. I read somewhere they are called Anti-crabbing clips.

Hope that helps anyone googling or searching for this.

For ref, would these be anti-crabbing clips ?

One of the problems in a topic like this, is the material the item is made from. I have acquired items for windows, where the "shape" is correct, but if the item is made of white nylon, the sun ruins it in a year or two. And then you have to search for some more of the item.

I would say "go find someone to do 3D printing and make a copy of the item", but the same problem exists there. The materials used in 3D printing may not be UV proof, and a nice looking item may be ruined by the sunlight after a couple years.

I'm trying to find these as well, Everest2020 are not being very helpful.

I’m in the same situation. Did you have any luck? Best advice I’ve had so far is to get some 3D printed, but have no idea how to do that

[Stan Stirton]

Have you thought of inserting a self tapping screw into the slot. Just a stubby dome headed one. But unsure of depth of glass panel into the vertical aluminium frame that would be behind the location of the slot.

I would like these too. Has anyone found them yet? Who would do a 3D print, I don’t really understand what this is. Thanks for any help.
