WIll 70-205 hold up in the cold?

Question

Hi; Re; Plastic retainer clip 70-205, Would this be suitable to stand up in winter weather on the outside of house ? My octagon window has an outside storm window pane that had six tin metal clips similar to 70-205 that held the storm window glass in place. Do you think these might freeze and crack in zero temperatures in Northern Indiana ? I didn't see any like this made of metal or white vinyl coated. Thanks.

You are correct, the cold and the sun could make the nylon brittle. You say you do have metal clips now holding in the panel. I would suggest to paint them. You might need a primer first, though. Talk to a local paint or hardware store and see what paint they suggest.
