installation and operation of the glass doors.
2. Read these instructions entirely before
beginning the installation. Save the
instructions for future reference.
3. All parts used with the replace system

INSTALLATION
1. Pre-install the two glass door spring clips at each end
of the top door track as shown in Figure 1. Use four
#8 x 1/2" Ph Hd screws to attach the clips, but do not
fully tighten.

2. Install the Upper Door Track to the replace as shown in
Figure 2 using two #8 x 1/2" Ph Truss Hd screws at each
end. Match up the holes in the track end tabs with the pilot
holes in the sides of the replace. See Figure 2.

3. Install the Canopy by rst removing the upper louver
assembly (if applicable). Flush face replace models will
have a 3/8" high opening just above the rebox that will
accept the canopy’s rear tabbed ange. With the canopy
tilted slightly upward, insert the canopy so that the rear
locator tabs lock into the slots located in the rebox top.
Rotate the canopy downward and install one #10 x 1/2"
Hex Hd screw at the center of the canopy. This screw
will be installed from inside the rebox. The location is
midway between the two rescreen rods at the center of
the replace. Secure the canopy with this screw, but do
not overtighten. See gure 3.

INSTALLATION
5. Install the Right Bifold Door assembly as shown in
Figure 4. With the door folded up, insert the bottom
door pivot pin into the receiving hole located in the
rebox bottom return ange. Swing the top of the door
assembly outward and engage the top pivot pin into the
hole located in the spring clip. Adjust the spring clip left
or right with the door in the open position, then snug the
spring clip screws as necessary to check door alignment
with the upper track. The gap above the door should be
equal across the top for proper door operation. Once
adjusted as desired, gently open doors, then tighten
screws to secure spring clips.

6. Repeat step 5 to install the Left hand Bifold Door
assembly. Make adjustments as necessary on the bifold
doors to achieve the best alignment and operation.
Figure 5 shows the completed installation of the bifold
doors and canopy.
