[guess]:

large channel for plexi
small channel for case panel and the narrow strip goes into the back grooze to force pressure down on the other two and lock it in...

sound plausible?

Lexan loves to get scratchy. Sometimes I swear that air can scratch it. Take all the precautions you can.

i hate that godamned locking strip. Mine was too tight a fit so I just gave up and filled the locking strip groove with hot glue, lol. Hey whatever works....:rolleyes:

i ended up using this tool that came with my screen door to get that locking strip installed it is like a handle with little rollers
