Additional tips:

  To install the 3rd piece of Easy-Stop it may be necessary to slide the upper sash completely down.

  Use gentle pressure to secure the Easy-Stop in the groove. Excessive pressure may cause breakage.

  Scissors can be used to trim the meeting rail pile.

  Easy-Stop can be secured in place by a compression fit only. May be additionally secured using acrylic caulk or brad nails.

  Easy-Stop can be painted just like wood, may also be left unpainted.
