You are suppled with:
3 sash stops

3 parting stops (for sides and top).
3 blind stops (for sides and top).
1 meeting rail seal
Approximately 20 to 25 nails

You will need a putty knife or chisel, hammer, saw, and tape measure.


1 Working from the interior of the window, use a chisel or putty knfe to pry loose the sash stops (A) from the jamb (B). Remove lower sash (C). Now pry the parting stops (D) out of the channel they sit in. Remove upper sash (E).


2 Measure and cut two lengths of the WeatherSealer blind stop to fit flush with top and bottom along sides of jamb, position against existing blind stop (F) and nail into place, 2 inches from edges and 1 ft. thereafter. Cut a top lengh to fit along the width at the top and nail into place. Reinstall upper sash.


3 Measure and cut two lengths of the WeatherSealer parting stop to fit flush with top and bottom along sides of jamb, press into the channel (nail if necessary). Cut and press top length. Reinstall lower sash.


4 Measure and cut two lengths of WeatherSealer sash stop to fit sides of jamb. With lower sash raised hold and press the new stop against the sash, partially hammer tne nail at the center, then lower and raise the sash to test it slides easily. Cut, test and nail remainder.


5 Measure and cut one length of WeatherSealer meeting rail seal the same length as the bottom of the upper sash rail. Hold seal in place so rubber gasket lines up with the gap between the meeting rails. Nail 2 inches from edges and 1 foot thereafter.
