Title: MRA Screen trim
Post by: cearnshaw on April 13, 2010, 18:04:46
I took the plunge and bought one but how the ###  do you get the trim on easily? I've been fannying around for 15mins now and only managed a couple of inches

You could try warming it (drape it over the radiator indoors for a while) then if you bend it so the open or channel side is on the outside of the bend it should open enough to feed it onto the screen.  I faffed about with mine, got it fitted then took it off.

Alternatively it might look nice in the bin.

Fitted MRA screen without any issus and then took hold of the screen edging and proceeded to attach it to the screen ............... 1 hour later I had managed to attach 6" to screen 20 mins later I retreated to the beer fridge in the garage and sat down to give it some more alcoholic thought and behold a great idea came to me!
I negotiated a set price (£5) with my young daughter and within 5 minutes she had manipulated it on.  
Unfortunately it just goes to prove that men cannot multi-task ie drink beer and attach trim at the same time.
As for the screen it is money well spent.

Try putting the trim in some HOT water for a few minutes then fit . Do not stretch as it will shrink back when cold.
Old tip, but I am . lol  lol
