(57) A ventilator portion (12) comprises an elongate central portion (18) of generally constant cross section, connected at either end thereof to an end cap (20). During assembly, the ventilator portion (12) is located on the upper edge (52) of a glazing panel (16), with a gasket (14) between the ventilator portion (12) and the glazing panel (16). Each end cap (20) includes a bore (104,104') and a screw (112) may be inserted into the bore to fix the end cap to the central portion (18). The bore (104') includes a cross port (118) leading from the bore to a lower surface (122) of the end cap (20). A gap (200) between the lower surface (122) of the end cap (20) and the upper edge (52) of the glazing panel (16) may be filled by inserting a flowable sealant (210) into the bore (104'), through the cross port (118) and into the gap (200).
