My understanding was that the tape strips were stacked. One place in the instructions listed an incorrect length for cutting the strips so watch out for that. Also, I placed the strips according to the cutout areas. That sort of worked but not perfectly. I wound up trimming the visible pieces of protective tape with an Exacto blade. It all looks fine now. I suppose you could do a trial fit of the mounting bars and mark where the tape strips should actually be.
Thank you very much for that. I'll be sure to take the measurements for the cutting. Thanks again! Hope to return the favor sometime!
