Used this with the 1.5mm rubber.
Nearly impossible to fit as the pressure needed to push the rubber into the groove isn't achievable by hand.
Especially gard from above.
Ended up using a wood working clamp to hold in place and tapping in with a hammer.
Completely agree Roger, I ended up cutting the rubber off flush and using a bead of silicone to seal the rubber to the edge trim, how correct this is I don't know but on the day after how frustrated I got watching this video it was the only thing that made sense. Hours of struggling to get nowhere.
I had this problem as well, I got over it by inserting the rubber into the top grove on the trim by pushing it in with a with a thin bladed filling knife worked my way along the whole roof edge, then I placed the drip trim into the groove and all worked fine from there with a gentler tap with a hammer and a short piece of Batten on the lower edge.
Haha no way is it that easy. It's IMPOSSIBLE to fit the drip tray after (even with 3 men trying to force it). Honestly a terrible product. You guys really need to redesign this. For the amount of margin you make on each kit you should really put some cash into a redesign.
As with Roger L - i've got the 1.5mm rubber and is nearly impossible to get in the groove. i've managed some bits but where there is a an even thicker seam I can't see how it's possible. It's cracked part of the securing strip too. i'm thinking heat gun or even sand the seams thinner.
on discussion with permaroof they advised not to use a heatgun in case of scorching the rubber and plastic, but i used an old hairdryer which significantly helped make the rubber more plyable. Where my rubber had a seam which made it even thicker, their advise was to, using a sharpe knife, shave a small amount off the plastic edging, equivalent to the width of the seam but leave enough so that it still pushes the rubber into the groove. I found about 2-3mm depth off the plastic strip worked.
@@adix179 Hi, I've just used this product for the first time, using the heavy duty Firestone stuff. I sussed out a neat little trick that made the job easy. Just take an offcut of the drip section (about 3-4 inches) and work along, using the sharp end to force the membrane up into the slot. It stays in place and the full length can then be popped in quite easily. I gave it gentle taps with a rubber mallet and that was it.
@@KDhrfud Shall give this a go..ta!
Again no close-ups in this video. Not particularly professional or instructional. Should be part of the video showing (not very well, either) the installation of the back-plate.
What terrible product. You have to be Eddie hall the push them up to get them to click in.
Think you need a rethink on this one
