Noise from UPvc window can I adjust it?

[BigHammo]

I have a upvc window with two upside down v shaped devices at the top which is connected to two levers. And the window pivots from the top.

It is a bottom opening window. The guy who installed it told how to adjust it as one of my others was faulty, ie it just needed adjusting, which he did easily.

However, I have forgotten what he did. Anybody any ideas what I need to do?

Whats wrong with it? If it keeps closing on its own open it a do the screw up on the plastic things that slide up and down

You mean the friction hinges like these

As far as i am aware you cannot adjust them, just make sure all the screws are tight and it butts up against the inside of the frame correctly,

If not these post a pic so we can see what you are talking about.

I hiave 1mm gap at the top, beteen seal and widow, and it is tight at the bottom, where the open handle is.

The hinge bracket is like your picture.

If it were me i would replace the hinges, but like i said check the screws are tight, if the top ones in the hinge are loose you will get this problem. Also if the piece of plastic at the top of the fixed piece of the hinge is damaged, it will not seal correctly.
