INSIDE MOUNT APPLICATION
DISASSEMBLE 3-PART SIDE CHANNELS
Remove 3 mm Allen screws from front of the side channel. Once all screws are
removed, take off front cover and remove the inner rail. DO NOT LOSE SCREWS!
DRILL OUT HOLES
Side channels are pre-punched for holes. When drilling out holes use 3/16”
drill bit. If shade is inside mount, drill out holes on the side of the side
channel.
LIFTING THE BOX INTO THE OPENING
- From the working position, insert both side channels A and Channel B into the headbox locking pins. Using both workers, grab each side channel and lift the headbox into opening.
- Once the headbox and side channels are resting in the opening, secure both A and B side channels through top hole. C Using a level, make sure Side Channel A is plumb. Insert screw in bottom hole. Using a level, make sure Side Channel B is plumb. Prior to securing, double check width at the top and bottom of the side channel. When width is verified and Side Channel B is plumb, insert screw in bottom hole. WIDTH MUST BE EXACT FOR THE SHADE TO OPERATE PROPERLY.
- Continue affixing channels through the remaining holes.

INSERTING THE ZIPPER INTO THE INNER RAIL
- INNER RAILS ARE SPECIFIC TO EACH SIDE CHANNEL. The top of the inner rail has a “V” shape cut into it. The bottom of the inner rail has a notch. The notch should face the installer when installing – the notch will determine whether the rail belongs in the right or left left side channel.
- Slide the zipper into the inner rail from bottom to top. To secure the inner rail inside the side channel, hook the foam guides behind the lip in the side channel. At the bottom of the inner rail, hook the notch behind the clip. This will lock the inner rail into position.
The PVC-side channel extends from the aluminium side channel. If you shorten the aluminium side channel, you need to take into account the same overlength for the PVC side channel.
ENCLOSING THE SIDE CHANNELS
Insert the front part of the channel into the installed channel. Insert screws
back into the side channel to secure.

DRILL OUT HOLES
Side channels are pre-punched for holes. When drilling out holes use a 3/16”
drill bit. If shade is outside mount, drill out holes on the back of the
channel.
MAKE YOUR MARKS
Using the back piece of one side channel (side channel A), make sure the side
channel is plumb for installation. Using a pencil, mark the holes.
MOUNTING SIDE CHANNEL A
Line up holes with your marks. Using a torque 25 screw, drill screw through
the top hole of the side channel.
SECURING THE HEADBOX AND MOUNTING SIDE CHANNEL B
Using both workers, lift headbox into position. Slide box into the back part
of the side channel A ensuring that the locking pins are inserted into the
side channel. Place level on headbox, ensuring it is level. Insert Side
Channel B into the locking pins on headbox. One headbox is level, screw torque
screw into the top hole in Side Channel B. The box should now be locked into
both side channels.
SECURING THE SIDE CHANNELS
Using a level, make sure Side Channel A is plumb. Insert screw in bottom hole.
Using a level, make sure Side Channel B is plumb. Before securing, double
check width at the top and bottom of the side channel. When the width is
verified and Side Channel B is level, insert a screw in the bottom hole. WIDTH
MUST BE EXACT FOR SHADE TO OPERATE PROPERLY. Once width is verified at top and
bottom, insert the remaining screws to secure side channels.
The PVC-side channel extends from the aluminium side channel. If you shorten the aluminium side channel, you need to take into account the same overlength for the PVC side channel.
