• Remove old rope and scrape old glue from rope retaining groove.

• Clean the rope retaining groove with a clean, dry cloth to remove any old dust and debris.

• Apply a generous bead of roof and gutter silicon around the rope retaining groove.

• Press the new 19mm OD door rope into the rope retainer groove, placing the start-stop joint to the bottom corner of the 

hinge side of the door.
