Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been asked many times but I am having trouble with roof panels slipping on my conservatory.

I was hoping that someone can recommend the correct end panels to use. I was looking at these:

But they seem incorrect as there is no where to screw them on my panels:

Any advice about the correct end caps would be greatly appreciated!

Normally the aluminium channel should extend as far as the cap profile. I think you need the type that just clips into place rather than screws, they have two horizontal prongs sticking out (a bit like an electrical plug) that friction fit into the holes. A bit like this https://www.omegabuild.com/shop/sho...cap-for-snapfix-rafter-supported-glazing-bar' But without the aluminium channel I'm not sure that would work, you might have to get creative.
@crank39 is your man .....
 
The white one in your attached picture is similar to a K2 rafter end cap, a totally different set up to what you have which is more of a 'rafter supported glazing bar' type roof, if you search for that type of roof system I'm sure you'll find end caps however if all you want to do is stop the polycarb slipping down then what I've done in the past is peel the top cap up a bit and put a self taping screw through the very edge of the polycarb sheet into the rafter and as low as you can to the gutter

Thanks to everyone for their kind advice. I've ordered a "Rafter Supported Glazing Bar Extra End Cap" to test.

however if all you want to do is stop the polycarb slipping down then what I've done in the past is peel the top cap up a bit and put a self taping screw through the very edge of the polycarb sheet into the rafter and as low as you can to the gutter

I will give that a try, thank you!
