Use a snap-lock tool to create a tab
every 16" on the cut edge of the
panel. These tabs should face out.

Install a finish trim into the bottom
J-Channel at the opening. A shim
must be installed behind the finish
trim. The foam that was cut from the
panel can be used as the finish trim
shim. (Fig. 2)
Snap the tabs of the cut edge of the
panel into the finish trim under the

A shim must be installed. (Fig. 4)
An optional method for this area is to
nail slot the cut edge of panel every
16" on center.
The face of the channel can be held
to facilitate nailing. Nail in middle of
every slot.
