Great product - Bad instructions - Read this for installation tips

I've read the negative reviews here about the difficulty of the installation and I'll share some tips that aren't mentioned in the instructions. In fact, reading the negative reviews helped me come up with a plan that makes installation fairly easy: 1. Don't cut the gasket to length prematurely. After threading the seal through the bottom guide, it's no longer the same size as it was when you started. cut after installation.2. Measure your T channels carefully before ordering. If you order the wrong size, you will be very disappointed.3. Slide a pair of cable ties over the gasket, one about 6" from the end of the rail and the other about 12" from the rail. SEE the attached photo (only one screed can be seen in the photo as the other was behind the door railing).4. Pull/push about 5" through the channel and then move the zip ties back about 5" and pull the same amount again. It helps if you gently push the gasket off the end of the rail before pulling the next 5 inches. Keep doing this until you're done.5. Use a board (or other object) to support the gasket about a foot from the second bond.6. The whole process took about 15 minutes. Hope that helps!
