An apparatus of a muntin bar clip to secure the position of muntin bars during and following the fabrication of multi-pane sealed glass window units. A method of securing and positioning muntin bars at multi-pane sealed glass window unit perimeters and in joining hollow false muntin bars within such units. Muntin bar clips fix the position of hollow false muntin bars at the perimeter of the window unit utilizing the sealing methods including foam strips and or butyl as the sealing medium. Muntin bar clips fix the position of hollow false muntin bars at the perimeter of the window unit where the false muntin bar is other than orthogonal in relation to the perimeter of the window. The position of muntin bars are fixed by securing the muntin bar clips by forming at a muntin bar clip tip end one or a plurality of spikes wherein the penetration, of one or a plurality of spikes, into the material of the sealing and or spacing method employed secures the position of the muntin bar. The apparatus lessens the likelihood of either breaking or cracking the glass panes, as multi-pane sealed unit assembly occurs, or of causing seal failure of such units either during manufacture or following installation and increases the likelihood of securing the muntin bars into permanent position.
