Daveoh-


What were the clips used for?
You may well be able to use a different type of clip.


The clips are used to hold the glass in place.
If you can imagine the notched end sitting against the pane of glass
with the above pane of glass resting in the notched part of the clip
which stops it from sliding down once tightened.

Do you think i could sub it for a different type of glazing clip?
As i said the greenhouse is very old so i i am unsure if the universal
clips will work

please help!

You can use Z clips to go between the sheets of glass and W clips to
hold them in place .
2 z clips per overlap, and 4 w clips per sheet.
