  1. Bring the blind down a little so it's easier to work and one side doesn't pull the other out.
  2. Start the track up a bit higher so it clears the top caps, slide it in, and butt it hard against the front of the pelmet.
  3. With the track hard up to the top it runs a straight line, level with the reveal. On smaller windows, one screw halfway in holds it — you don't have to drive it all the way yet.

If you hit a snag

The side track won't sit straight.

Make sure it's butted hard against the front of the pelmet and pushed up to clear the top caps before you screw it.
