Ensure the window is resting against the interior surface of the blind stops
and the sill
adapter meets the original sill.
Note: The height of the window frame can be
increased by as much as 3/8" by applying the
head expander (included) to the window
frame. If more than 3/8" height adjustment
is required, install a continuous shim at
the sill.
