Can I use these clips for roof panels?

Troubleshooting
Clip does not hold glass securely
Ensure the clip is fully seated in the frame channel and properly engaged with the glass edge. Check if the glass or frame channel is damaged, which might prevent a secure fit. Verify you are using the correct size clip for your application.
Difficulty sliding clip into place
Make sure the frame channel is clear of obstructions. A small amount of lubricant (like soapy water) can sometimes aid in sliding the clip. Ensure the clip is aligned correctly with the channel and glass edge.
Clips appear to be rusting or corroding
This is unlikely with stainless steel. If discoloration occurs, it may be due to surface contaminants. Try cleaning the clips with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Ensure they are not in prolonged contact with dissimilar metals that could cause galvanic corrosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the greenhouse frame channel is clean and free from debris.

Compatibility:
