Hello
I have a leaking UPVC double glazed bathroom window. The gasket has been changed on frame plus window, and all adjustments made so it's closing as tight as possible at present, but not tight enough.
It originally had a flipper gasket, but this was changed for bubble, so wondering if that could be a contributing factor?
I have noticed that this particular window is missing a few metal (brackets?) things that the locks pull against to tighten that section of the window. It's missing two compared to other same sized windows in the house. I'm not sure what this are called, but included a picture. Can someone confirm what they are called please? I've googled everything I think they might be called in order to purchase, but haven't found them as yet.
This is my bedroom window, same size as bathroom window.

This is the bathroom window with the new bubble gasket that replaced the original flipper gasket. As you can there is a big gap between gasket and top of frame. Could this be an issue?

The locks have been turned so that when closed, the windows pulls against these metal brackets tighter, and the bottom left hinge has been adjusted to the max also (pulling window closer to frame). So other than adding the extra metal brackets, is there any other adjustments that can be made please?
Thank you
