Cut or trim the weather seal (if necessary) to the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°f or below, pre-drilling is required.
for Q.I. track: Align the header seal with the inside edge of the header and temporarily secure
it to the header with equally spaced nails. next, fit the jamb seals up tight against the header
seal and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally
spaced nails. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening during installation.

to the header with equally spaced nails. next, fit the jamb seals up tight against the header seal
