Figure 10Once the straight areas of fabric are tensioned flat, do not continue to push the clips in farther. The corners may still have puckering.
Figure 18Attach all Covers to complete.
Figure 17Attach the Radius Cover with the adjoining straight cover.
Figure 16Attach the supplied screws in the area’s where the fabric is not doubled up to insure they sit flat and do not obstruct the cover.
Figure 15Cut excess fabric off by following the groove underneath the fabric on the cast Radius Corner where it recesses to a lower level. Pre-drill holes for security screws just below where the tape is located.
Figure 14Continue this process until desired look is achieved.
Figure 13Work the flexible fabric to eliminate puckering or wrinkles while pushing it onto the tape.
Figure 12Fold the fabric back and apply VHB foam tape 1/2” down from the top of the frame. The tape will temporarily hold the fabric in position until the security screws are added.
Figure 11Cut relief areas in the fabric where the cast Radius Corners begin. Do not cut closer than 1/2” to the frame.
