don't over pack the sill, in the middle, or else the doors will catch .

toe 'n' heel packing of the door glass is essential to prevent the doors from dropping. if you have no experience of this then don't attempt it.

you must also have rigid packers at the lock locations for security purposes.

you will need a minimum of four fixings down each side. try not to over tighten and crush the profile.

a head fixing is recommended to prevent slam wobble.

fit the "k" glass the right way round.
