Roof lantern glass panel slipped down past the eaves leaving a gap beneath the glazing bar

What you might be seeing

  • A visible gap under the capping at the top of a pane
  • Glass edge overhanging the eaves more than its neighbours
  • A leak at the top of one pane only

What usually causes it?

Missing setting blocks

Blocks under the bottom edge carry the weight of the unit; if they're missing or crushed, the unit creeps down.

Failed glass stops

Many systems use an end stop at the eaves. If it's missing or broken, nothing holds the glass in place.
