Hi guys,

In my son's room we have a 3 pane double glazed window with 2x openers one left and one right

The left window let's a draft in around the top, I have read about hinges being out and causing it.

The window case appears to be fitted wonky. The bottom right of the window catches a (what I will describe as a spacer piece with a slope no idea what it's caused).

When opening the window and looking at the gap where the hinges are, the bottom left has a smaller gap than the top right.

Is it likely it needs the tip hinge re-aligning and drilled to make the window square in the frame or is there another way to do it.

If I need to remove the top hinge and re drill how would one get this in the right place?

Sorry for mankiness of window this is on the to-do list.

1st pic is the where the bottom corner window catches.

The 2nd pic is the cap with the side of the frame
