I was in the same position regarding such clips for some windows in my
mother's house.

Found them on the web - can't remember where now - and was so disgusted by
the gouging price we decided it made more sense to replace the windows.
Sure it cost a lot more but I couldn't bear to see that much money
basically go down the pan - the windows were never that good and were way
past their best anyway.

But a tip - look very carefully at the clips and try to identify any
markings on them, especially maker's name. That is what enabled my
searches to find what I wanted.

Just to update this question.

I have Everest secondary glazing with the afore-mentioned plastic clips.
I couldn't find replacements anywhere on the internet.
Rang Everest [0800 140 4936]and they cost £5.00 postage for as many as you need, i asked for 40.
I read somewhere they are called Anti-crabbing clips.

Hope that helps anyone googling or searching for this.

Hi,
Do you have some of this clips available for sale?
Everest went into administration and cannot help.

One of the problems in a topic like this, is the
material the item is made from. I have acquired items
for windows, where the "shape" is correct, but if the
item is made of white nylon, the sun ruins it in a
year or two. And then you have to search for some more
of the item.

I would say "go find someone to do 3D printing and make
a copy of the item", but the same problem exists there.
The materials used in 3D printing may not be UV proof, and
a nice looking item may be ruined by the sunlight after
a couple years.

I’m in the same situation. Did you have any luck? Best advice I’ve had so far is to get some 3D printed, but have no idea how to do that

Have you thought of inserting a self tapping screw into the slot. Just a stubby dome headed one. But unsure of depth of glass panel into the vertical aluminium frame that would be behind the location of the slot.

I would like these too. Has anyone found them yet? Who would do a 3D print, I don’t really understand what this is. Thanks for any help.
