Hello. I have just got the keys to my new house & have noticed that some of the beading around the fixed patio door is loose. It appears that someone has had the same problem on the sliding door & glued the beading in. I have tried removing all the beading & seating the shortest top & bottom pieces first but I cannot get them to click in securely. I have tapped them with a rubber mallet however, I am only tapping slightly in fear of smashing the glass. I have attached a few pictures of the beading profile & the gap which you can see on the top of the fixed door. I did notice that the longer pieces at the side appear to long as you have to bend them to get them between both top & bottom mitre of the shorter pieces. I'm guessing this isn't helping.

Any advice on how to get these beads to stay in?
