One of my Conservatory Roof Panel has slipped?

One of my Conservatory Roof Panel has slipped down about 2", there is no gap yet, but not much of the Panel is still under the main cross member, i have tried pushing it back up, with no avail. Can someone help me

Make sure that nothing has dropped into the gap between the ridge and the roofing material. If so then clear it out. Kew offered good advice to deal with raising the rubber seal, which can be a problem without access equipment.

Once all is clear you should be able to carefully push the glazing back towards the ridge.

If you want a long term solution to your slipped conservatory roof panels then take a look at an end cap replacement kit. Just google "end cap replacement kit" - Truly Conservatory Repairs sell two types of these kits through eBay, so you could save money by doing the job yourself. The kit has a strong aluminium retainer, so shouldn't drop again! Good Luck :-)

This happened to me. Check that the top edge is still fully under the top rubber seal. Chances are it has slipped out and you are trying to push against it. use a long pole with a scraper fastened to it and gently ease up the seal along it's length while someone firmly taps the lower panel edge with a rubber mallet.
