My mother had double glazing last week and is having trouble putting her net curtains back up. She was advised that it was best not to drill into the upvc but to get some sticky backed hooks, these unfortunately do not stay up. Has anyone got any advice which i can pass on to her please?

Many thanks.

I took the sticky pads off and super glued the hooks to the frame, they have been there for the last 9 years with no probs.

thank you so much for your replies:) I will tell Mum to try the superglue idea first then carry on from there if it doesnt work.
