I can't get this thing to sit on my window sill correctly, nor can I pull the window down far enough to allow enough room for the screws. Advice??

Maybe you need to make the ac sit a little higher. You can try getting a piece of wood measured and put horizontaly under until its brings the ac up to where the window closes and you can put in the screws. As far as having the AC leveled the wood will help, you can also get AC support brackets if its not already leveled.

If you have window that opens up from the bottom, there are mental L's you have to attach to the shelf and slip over the sill. If you window opens out you have to secure the shelf with screws.

Turn the whole thing upside down and sit on it. Use a flathead screwdriver to push the tabs in. I just found 1.5" screws that were lying around the house. Not too thick. Good luck!

No, its not long enough to reach the top of the window. I had to extend with polypropolene sheet cut to fit.

Yes that's the type of windows I have...just screw them on the left or right side and it will prevent the window from going up.

I feel this item is not really designed for window installation, not that it isn't duerable but the size will require a special frame of wood to make it fit. Good luck

adam w evans answer seems like a great answer. I didn't have the problem you describe, nor have I had to adjust the screw mentioned.

If the hose is coming of at the unit give it a twist it should lock into place.If the hose is coming of at the window kit you can screw in the hose in farther.

put lock tight on the screws and let dry per directions, mine have not been loose since. you have to put it on correctly or it will not work.

Don't tighten the screws all the way until you have them all in. Just thread the screws enough to hold in place. Good luck.

I have mine Inside with my window hold it in place. So it all depends on how your windows are built, not all windows are the same.

I had the same problem as Robert M and I basically did the same thing. The adhesive strip needed time to compress before the window would stay up,this was also when it was warm.

If your window sill is painted or not extremely smooth the velcro tape will not hold for long. It's best if you can use heavy staples or at thumbtacks to secure the velcro in place. One of my guys is 15 pounds and has caused the perch to fall completely off. The sticky surface did not hold the tape to the sill.

Make sure window is clean for suction cups to stay put. Mine held on very well until a squirrell sat on and squeezed into it one too many times. It didn't break though. Just clean the surface before sticking it on.

I gave it to my cousin as a Christmas gift, so really have no idea. I would think just pull it off the window, clean it and suction cup it back up.

I couldn't get if to stick to my Chevy dashboard either. I mounted it on my side window (door window) where it hasn't moved since i mounted it.

Your window must be at least 22" wide x 24" high and double paned. If I were you, I would for sure try one of the used ones listed here. Some people love these things. It simply doesn't stay up for me. Make sure you can send it back if it doesn't work!
