Awkward window bead

billozz · Sunday at 3:17 PM

Can anyone help I've replaced a double glazed unit and I'm having trouble getting one bead to go in, it's a bit of because unlike the other beads it has a cutout in it no idea why but wondered if that is the problem.
Thanks
Bill

The bead starts ok either from the top or the bottom but when I reach that bit that's cut out it won't clip into place, not sure why they've cut it either.

That's a duraflex bead, they can be a pain at the best of times, they cut the V because they can't clean the welds in the corresponding grooves on the frame
