Repair Roof Lantern

Question

One side of lantern glass is siding down and need to be fixed. 
First time it was little and a tape was suggested which worked until glass slide more. 
What is recommended to fix this permanently?

Mark · Answer

I would seek the installer and manufacturer and ask for glass clips or wedge clips  that are designed to fit in the profile section
Unfortunately it’s not something you can purchase from anywhere it needs to be from the supplier 
Hope this helps

Should have anti slip plates at the bottom of the glass frame runs to stop any movement.

Scott · Answer

Hi you need to have it done right with supports added to bars to stop this should have been done when installed

James · Answer

We have special blocks to screw in to glazing bar to prevent this happening

Raina · Answer

You want to start thinking about replacing the unit completely

Sean · Answer

Would recommend metal bracket each end as tape solution does not last

Lenny · Answer

The roofing bars either side of the unit should have little fixing blocks at the very end behind the decorative end caps which stops the glass slipping

Ryan · Answer

It's probably just lose in the transom and needs fixing and sealing properly.  This should be a permanent fix.
