The bow does what it says- floats about- until the top is clipped in place. Then you will not get the correct profile unless you have the rubber bit on the end, which presses the end of the bow against the square section of frame at the top of the window. These are always lost. This rubber is screwed to the sqare section, and not attached to the bow itself.

However, there are easy to find replacements. Go to your local hardware store and buy two black rubber doorstops (they are cylindrical and about 1" in diameter. With a bit of fiddling, these can be bolted to the frame and work perfectly. they should have a hole through- glue a nut into this, then bolt through the frame to keep in place. You will have to unscrew the rubber channel trim from the alu frame to get to the hole.

Unfortunately I don't have access to my photos at the moment, so I cant describe it better than that.
