Hi:
I'm re-fitting the sliding window draft excluders, part number EAM8530/8531. What holds them on? I push them on, they fall off as soon as I slide the window. I guess some sort of clear glue?
Thanks for any help.

I pinched the top and bottom together with a rag over some adjustable pliers - enough so it can 'grip' on the window. Definitely avoid any glue!
Worked a treat for my 850.

Cheers

Hi: Yes I did exactly as willy said, and it worked a treat. Should have dawned on me that, simply, the channels were too wide to snugly hold onto the glass. Thank you!
