This is what I am referring to, I believe its called the beading - https://imgur.com/a/rCa1gOy

I have silicone sealant and window frame sealant, I'd like to use one of these if possible to fill in the gaps as buying and installing new beading will be much more expensive. The gap is about 1-2cm only in a few corners of my window

Yes that's fine, use low mod neutral cure.

You can also replace the black shuffle bead, pull some out and photograph the profile and measure. You should be able to find something similar online to replace. It's much easier to just silicone the corners though.

Just to let you know, a 5m length of UPVC quadrant will likely cost you less than £7. That being said, you'd need to re-silicone it anyway.

The current beading you have will likely continue to shrink, It will be so much easier for you to replace the beading now, than it will be if you silicone the corners. (and it would surely look nice with a white bead?)
