I haven't tried it yet, but I was told by the seller to tape the top and underneath then cut through the layers. The tape prevents chipping and splitting.
Yes I had an older mobile home with crank out poorly insulated thin windows . I ordered the minimum thickness for hurricane resistance in with a smoke tint. I used a skill saw with a fine tooth blade and used the anchor system to mount the panels. Worked great and lowered my electric bill by 20% I think I have pictures somewhere. The panels were shipped out of Tampa somewhere. The nice thing they didn’t really look like storm panels.
So will you leave them up full-time? Or just if there is a hurricane coming? I like that they still let light in. Trying to figure out what we want to do for our house.
Excellent video. Very helpful. Thanks.

Way betta then turning your house into a cave with the metal ones
Where did you buy your full panels. Nice video. Informative.
Has anyone here used polycarbonate sheeting -(the honeycomb kind rated for hurricane)and hurricane clips? Thank you for sharing. Stay safe everyone.

I leave everything except the slider panels. I take them off twice a year to clean but you could probably do it once a year. Sorry for the late reply.
where can you buy the full panels?
Lowes carries them and everything else you’ll need. I bought these used but like new off Craig’s list.
