INSTALLING BUMPERS
Elite bumpers are shipped as a continuous roll.
Once installed the continuous bumper helps to
disguise the joint locations, giving the lineup a
smoother look.
1. Unroll the bumper and allow it to rest at room
temperature for 24 hours prior to installa-
tion to minimize bumper shrinkage after
installation.
2. Slide end caps onto retainer at right and left
ends of lineup. Align with slot in retainer,
then fasten with screws provided.
3. Measure the distance between inside end of
caps and add
1
/
8
inch (3 mm) for each 4 ft
(1220 mm). Adding the additional material
will compensate for stretching which occurs
during installation.
4. Cut the bumper to length with a miter saw for
a precise, right-angle cut.
5. Lubricate the inside of the vinyl with soapy
water or silicone spray.
6. Starting at the left end of the line up, butt end
of the vinyl bumper against end cap. While
applying pressure, bend back vinyl top so that
vinyl legs are positioned within the base
grooves. Roll vinyl bumper over full length of
retainer, then tap with rubber mallet to ensure
vinyl is securely locked into retainer.
7. If necessary wipe clean with any household
cleaning product.
