12. Press the column module down into its fully seated position on
the mounting brackets. Attach the column module to the
brackets with the screws that were removed in Step 6 using a
3/32" hex driver.
13. Fold a thin, flexible plastic strip into a "U" shape and insert it
sideways above the column end fitting inside the slot as shown.
Insert a foam plug in between the plastic ends and slide the foam
plug down snug with the column end connection.
Note: The plastic strip acts a "shoehorn" to enable the foam plug
to slide easily and tightly against the column end
connection thereby minimizing air leakages. It is used to
protect the edges of the column plugs.
