Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the accordion boot cap to truck seal work with thin metal or wood frames?
Yes, but there must be a flange no thicker than 3/16". For wood or thick materials, add a metal strip (like aluminum flat bar) around the opening for the accordion boot cap to truck seal to grip.
- Can I install a accordion boot cap to truck seal in cold weather?
Yes, but it's best to warm the accordion boot cap to truck seal slightly beforehand. Cold temperatures may make the rubber less flexible and harder to manipulate during installation.
- Is there a certain glue that can be used in conjunction with the accordion boot?
The rubber boot does not require glue for installation. This is because there is a spring clip embedded it the rubber. When the boot is placed over a flange the spring clip squeezes the rubber securely. The only place you may want to glue the boot is where it meets. This is however optional. To glue the seam where the two ends meet, you can use cyanoacrylate (i.e. SuperGlue). Do not use any petroleum based glues as it will react negatively to the rubber. (i.e. rubber cement).
