    This is the view of the side of the window with the window open.

    Seems like nobody rushed with the answer so far ;-) To help you I asked my friend, who works at Amberline Windows and he says it's a protective spacer used only for transport, so it can be removed now.

    you sure?
    Is it foamy? or hard plastic? Looks like one of the plastic "guides" used to guide the window into correct position when closing and then hold it in same position while it is closed ... stop it from sagging like.

    Hi. It's hard plastic.

    I agree with jm, Its more of a guide than a protection.

    Ok... I have to defend the good name of Amberline here.

    They've been fitting VEKA frames for 10 years and according to VEKA specifications these plastic parts are only needed for transport.

    If the windows were correctly fitted and levelled there is no need for any "guides". Only a bad fitter would tell you to keep these, in case he did a bad job and the wing is dropping (sagging) after you open the window...

    But it's up to you, what you decide to do with them. Just wanted to help, as there weren't any experts willing to answer your question...

    Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll leave them be as they are not in the way. Cheers.

    many of our windows have these, brother in law (who has worked for a few window suppliers) told me they guide the window in to place to ensure no gaps.
