  • Are you sure it isn't an original leaded light that's been sealed into a double glazed unit? They're usually made deliberately to stay loose inside.

    Prizing off the edging to have a look can end up ruining the things; it may be better to contact a glazier that deals with leadlights/repairs.

    Not to forget that lead is toxic.


    In any case, the door banging would still wake you up whether the window rattled or not.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • if the strips lead or plastic are inside the glazed units the simple answer is you can't, the units are sealed & the only way to remove them would destroy the units, however if they are on the outside of the glass then that is a diff matter
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
