Oh hey, I just saw you had already posted pretty much the same recommendation I had in mind. I'd personally 3d print an attachment, but your solution is readily available for everyone and cheap. Kudos!

Granite counter tops also rest on a sturdy base, the caulk used to attach them doesn't have to resist a lot of force trying to push the slab around, the caulk is mostly there to prevent liquids spilling into the cabinets and to provide a decent appearance. Yes, the caulk also somewhat attaches the slab, but keep in mind how hard it is to move to begin with, given the weight of the counter top.

Here, the weight of the glass door pulls the panel out of the rails via the hinges. Silicone won't provide a lasting solution.

I can only confirm what ballskicker and Shadow said - I'd remove the old caulk both mechanically and with the help of a solvent and then caulk it back in.

However, I'm also pretty sure it will eventually sag again without the help of a retaining mechanism.

Given the pictures you posted (which might not provide the full context), I assume someone really just caulked a glass panel into the profiles and left it at that. I assume you would like to avoid drilling the glass (can be done, but is tricky and has the potential to create a mess pretty quickly), so I'd simply manufacture a retaining cap that closes off the profile and holds the glass panel in place. I'd drill a hole into the ceiling to hold the cap in place, or into the profile, depending on the material and the remaining situation at hand.

I'm talking about mounting that right here, after sliding the glass back in / caulking, of couse:

Ganz so einfach ist es leider nicht. Opt-out loest nicht die Probleme mit Infrastruktur und Facharztmangel.

If I remember correctly, you should be able to just install the GitHub version.

Thank you for exposing me to this. I will now hate you forever.

Honestly, if you're in the audience for Thunderbird on Android, you probably also want to have a look at FairMail ~~instead~~.

Edit: phrasing

I shudder to think OP's post was written by an actual person...

What's a good way to financially support artists directly, without involving shady corporations, and without resorting to piracy?

I think you might have replied to the wrong comment.

If you are talking about Germany, that is no longer true - landlords can not deny installations without sound reason:

The surrounding laws were updated July this year, so it is a recent change.

Jokes on you, I look her up once a year to see what she ended up doing. I'm 100% her name is Danielle.
