What's your recommended way of = inserting the=20 apex seal including tip.

Hi=20 George.

I'm going to=20 defer the "recommended" way to Tracy or Bruce. The instructions = mention=20 that these tips are long enough that they don't normally need to be = superglued,=20 though that's still an option. Inserting the pieces separately = wasn't that=20 hard, but I'm still not sure if it would have been easier to put = the corner=20 seals in place first, then put the apex tips in place. The = instructions=20 seem to suggest that method, but I wasn't sure. I put the tip in=20 place just to see if it would push the end of the spring = into=20 position, which it did. Once it was there, I couldn't resist = trying to=20 put the corner seal in, and that was no problem either, except for = that one=20 seal that I got a little crooked.

Cheers,
