Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Jul 13, 2023 10:38 am Hi all, On one of the aluminium awning windows in my property, the rubber seal that runs around the window itself has popped out in one corner. I've tried for 10 mins but I can't for the life of me get it back in. See photo: https://i.ibb.co/GkhK1zP/IMG-4418.jpg Could anyone give me any advice on how to pop it back in? Maybe there's a tool I need? The rubber itself doesn't seem to have degraded, so I don't think a completely new seal is necessary. Property is about 7 years old. The loose seal doesn't impair the window from closing, I just know that if I don't fix it it'll keep getting worse. Thanks.
