What happens here
With the base of the aluminum profile in place, take the top section of the profile and align it over the panel. Using a rubber mallet and a wooden block, gently but firmly tap the top section of the aluminum profile downwards along its length. The wooden block helps distribute the force evenly and prevents damage to the aluminum or polycarbonate. Continue tapping until the profile is fully seated and securely clamps the polycarbonate panel, creating a tight and stable connection.
Goal: Hammer the top part of the aluminum profile into place to secure the panel
