I am in the process of replacing wooden windows in my garage with UPVC ones from Wickes. It took me about half an hour to get the beading away from the frames to enable me to remove the glass prior to fitting frames.They were very tight to get off. Having fitted the frame and replaced the glass ,myself and two friends have all tried to get the beading back into the frames but have found it just about impossible. Has anyone fitted Wickes frames and if so how do you get the beading back ?

Put in the beading in place at opposite ends,shortest pieces first.
Then bow the other pieces into place, using a rubber mallet to straighten out the arc at a central point.

usually most people cut a small slot into the middle of the beading (not all the way through) then bend it putting both ends into the grove - they use a small rubber hammer to knock it back in (Or wooden block & hammer)
