  • Measure width between rails (Top, Middle, Bottom).

  • Account for frame taper (± 0.25 inches).

  • Add 1.0 inch seam allowance for spline channel.

STEP 02: DECONSTRUCTION

  • Remove plastic end caps.

  • Extract existing sling fabric.

  • Discard old vinyl spline.

  • Clean rail channels. Use non-corrosive solution.

STEP 03: CHANNEL PREPARATION

  • Verify channel width (Standard 0.25", 0.33", or 0.5").

  • Insert new high-density vinyl spline into sewn sling edges.

  • Apply silicone-based lubricant to spline for friction reduction.

STEP 04: INSERTION AND TENSIONING

  • Slide sling into frame rails simultaneously.

  • Align fabric horizontally.

  • Tighten frame spreader bars to achieve specified tension.
