Ok you know u get a plain double glazed window well i do them no probs but occasionally u get windows that have plastic sections glued or taped on to make up square patterns like u get with led dressing but in white plastic well i knocked part of the plastic dressing off that makes the squares.
Did i explain it any better lol.

glazing tape, it is quick and easy, made for outdoors and you can get different thicknesses, you can get it off ebay or the link in my first post on this thread, i would not keep it to long, as i think this is one of the reasons why it falls off, because old stuff has been used to fit it in the first place. its a theory
