There is a small 2mm wide x 2-3mm deep kerf on the inside edge of the rabbet parallel with the surface of the glass that the spline is pushed into. It is a friction fit.
I will take a picture when I assemble my doors so you can see a bit better.
The silicone is definitely easier and faster but I just don't like the look and any silicon that gets on any unfinished surfaces makes it real difficult to get a good finish when spraying.
The splines make for a very smooth clean transition from the glass to the frame.

That was so wrong in so many ways. [laughing] [laughing]
LOL, thought you would be back. You see, if you had waited a minute then the man would have had time to explain [poke]
The way i see it is the glass is held in the plastic strip with friction, i think that much is obvious. What i wanted to know was how the plastic strip is held into a rebate & Tim kindly explained it is held in with a groove for some type of plastic spline (i presume) It too is probably a friction fit. Guess we will have to wait for the pictures.
Ken, trust you to pick up on that [thumbs up]

Cheers Tim
I c so it does hook just cus its flexible it can just be bulled off thats wa u mean with friction. Has your glass have a wooden frame round it? Cus how I first read it you have a wooden frame with a lip (kerf) which the wedge seal hold the GLASS but in your picture it looks like its holding Glass with a frame fix around it already or something like that. Unless across the bond your glass comes different to ours.
Sorry if I am being silly.

I get mine from my glass cutter/supplier and they use CRLaurence.
I have not been able to find this profile in their online catalog but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Try http://www.crlaurence.co.uk/default.aspx.
