I have an old greenhouse which needs repairing. Quite a few panes of
glass are missing. This includes one on the door. Most of the panes
are held by w or z type clips which I have been able to find easily on
sale in many places.
However on the door there is a different type of clip.

What kind is this? Do I need to use it? Where can I get it?

We had ones like that on one of our greenhouses. I don't particularly
like them, U found them more prone to disappearing over time, and harder
to fit/get out.

ISTR seeing them someone in the shops, probably a catalogue or website
(Two Wests maybe ?) But I've been replacing mine as required with the
normal 'W' type wire clips which seems to be working fine.
