Installation Steps

6. Attach Top Foam Sealer: Apply the foam sealer roll along the top edge of the unit where it meets the window sash to prevent air leakage.
7. Secure Window (Optional): For added security, you may install the metal piece to lock the window sash in place, preventing it from being opened from the outside.
