Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. 2. Carefully align the polycarbonate sheet to the desired position, utilizing appropriate fastening hardware (e.g., countersunk screws with neoprene washers). 3. Avoid over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress and lead to cracking. Maintain a consistent, slight tension.
