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