   • Apply brush seal all around on one side.

4. Loosen the top bars one after another, slide the acrylic panels into the profile grooves, then tighten the bars again.

5. Clean the open side of the frame and apply the metal tape all around.

6. Front panel preparation:

   • Apply the magnetic tape (use super glue additionally for strong hold).

   • Let it cure.

   • Flip the panel and apply fabric tape all around.
