With Stringers hanging against the wall, guide Panels onto one end by hooking the edge of the panel over the top lip of the
Stringer. Keeping the Stringers in vertical position, center the panels with equal overlap in respect to the window. Start
from the top and work towards the bottom, snapping each panel over the front edge of the Stringer. (see Fig. 3-1)
For extra long installations: Panels of different lengths may be snapped together to obtain any width desired. Just slide
the back edges of two Panels together to overlap at least 3" and snap together.
Attach Return Arm Extension to Stringer with 1 - 1 1/4" Bolt and Nut as shown (see Fig. 4-1).
After Panel has been slid over top lip of Stringer
