the spring will begin to get tight. Install another spacer
at that point. Check the first spacer to make sure it
stays in place.
8. Continue working your way around until you reach
180 degrees from the first spacer. Install the third
spacer.
9. The spring will be extremely tight now.
Once you have gone more than half way around, the
spring will be easier to roll into the rest of the groove.
When you have the spring in place, make sure to
remove the three spacers.
10. Replace the boot extrusion back onto the duct and
pull it up over the ridge on the duct near the top of
the opening.
Reinstall the clamp in such a way that the clamp
sits between the ridges on the extrusion and above
the ridge on the duct. Snap the clamp closed with
the copper tubing tool.
11. Before attaching the new boot to the front panel,
clean the surface of the front panel with alcohol or
household cleaner. Also clean the flat surface of the
new boot that will be contacting the front panel. This
step is needed to remove the mold release material
used in the manufacturing process and will allow
the adhesive to stick.
12. Remount the boot onto the front panel making sure
the boot is not wrinkled. If large wrinkles exist, this
may pool water in the boot and dribble onto the floor
when the door is opened. If this is the case, pull it
loose from the front panel and remount it slightly
more clockwise or counter clockwise as needed.
13. Using the adhesive supplied in the kit, sparingly apply
dots of glue under the edge of the boot.
Spot glue at the 12 o’clock, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and
9 o’clock positions around the opening.
