Loose Glass in Door Panel

    Anyone got any ideas as to what I could do to firm up on some loose sections in a coloured glass door panel. The pieces are set in lead but have become loose from wear and tear over the years. All in great condition but just rattly and loose, that's all. If I try to remove it, I fear it will collapse as soon as I remove the beading holding it in position.
    TIA.

    Try some clear silicone

    What colour is the wood surrounding? Had similar problem with an ex's doors. I broke the top off a match stick and used the stick itself to wedge in against the pane and topped with a small drop of glue to hold stick in place. Was almost invisible. Her doors were made of pine though.

    If not then the silicone could also work. Just push the pane forward slightly when applying this and be careful to let it set.

    Most hardware stores will do it, or Woodies and B+Q

    Tks for advice. Silicone worked a treat.
    Slow to do but easy enough and good solid job afterwards.
