In the case of the side rails, again, existing door frames may have multiple channels, or flanges of different heights, that make for a surface too uneven for efficient installation of your new screen. In this case, you will need to shim this channel or channels to the height of the tallest flange in the existing side door frame. It is recommended you order or find shims made of a non-degradable material (plastic or nylon, for example) that can be fitted into the channel(s), of sufficient length to assure a flat and vertically plumb surface for the new side rail.
