sticking "bars" back on windows...with what ?

[worcesterman47]

hi guys, we have double glazed (upvc) windows etc, the windows have on them a single upvc " bar" that goes across the centre of the windows giving it a look of 2 seperate windows...now my problem is these "bars" have started to fall off occasionally..i have tried every kind of adhesive & dbl sided tapes i can think of to stick them back on but they come off again after a short while..having looked at the bars they seem to have some kind of adhesive white tape on them which makes them adhere exceptionally well to the glass, so my question really is does anyone have any idea what the tape is called ? where i can get some ? or any other advice to stick the bars back on so as they stay pretty permanent, many many thanks in advance

The fake georgian bars are probably stuck on with security tape, mainly used to keep DG units in windows that are externally glazed.

Just make sure the bar is not too tight against the pvc at each end, with expansion this MAY be causing your bar to keep popping off so if tight just trim them slightly

Worcester there is a place in Sutton Coldfield that does the tape about a quarter of the cost of Cranks link, worth paying the £2 postage mate, let me know and ill dig out the number.

I've had to do similair in the past and have used (under advice from others) clear silicon.
