Can this be used AFTER the window/door is installed? And this does come with both the can $ gun right? Sorry silly I know but some descriptions r kinda confusing

Yes, you can use this after the window/door is installed as long as the trim isn't installed yet. It does not come with the gun. You have to buy it separately. If you plan on using a lot of this stuff, then the gun is worth it. If it's a one-time job, a regular can with the plastic straw is fine.

It does not come with the can and the gun. I ordered all separately from the same company. I don't know your exact situation but if there's a big enough gap you should be able to use it after installation. The gun comes with disposable tips to get into small gaps. Hope this helps!

Yes, it can be used after (and typically is) the door or window is installed. This does NOT come with the gun needed to dispense. Unless you use spray foam on a regular basis, you might be better off with the regular cans of foam that are disposable. Hope this helps.

Install AFTER the window is installed. Apply a small bead as deep into the opening between the window frame and the studs as possible.Do not apply too much, as it expands, and can make a mess. Better to apply some, and let it sit for a while, then apply more if needed. Also Make sure you use the Window and Door formula as the other types of Great stuff will expand A lot and Bow the window and door frames. Hope this helps

No gun included but is meant for after window /door is installed. Be careful not to put to much in and make sure it has somewhere to expand or it can push in window or door jam. A little goes a long way. Also dont put around where door handle locks go in door jam it will fill in and you will have to dig it out. NEVER TOUCH UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY DRY EVEN IF IT FALLS ON ANYTHING. It will smear and be a nightmare to get off but once dry it can be popped off or cut or scraped. Hope it helps thanks

Ours is mounted behind a bedroom curtain which extends wider than the window width. While the long gun typically lives in the safe, if/when it's appropriate to have better access the mount is already installed and the frame is 99% invisible the rest of the time.

Yes, you install the sleeve in the window first and then just slide the heavy bits inside it. Very nice unit.

Works fine with doors off but is not weather tight with or without doors. You do need to make sure that you order the windshield bracket.

This comes with a sleeve. It can be mounted in a window OR through-wall. Not many units are like that. The sleeve is therefore kind of unique to this unit and almost certainly must be used. You may have to modify your wall opening, if that is what you are replacing. If it is going into a regular window, you should be able to easily remove the old unit and replace it with this one, but you will have to figure out how to seal it up (per the instructions).

Yes, you can leave a window open, and even close it after arming it. It will only trigger when the sensors are separated....not when the are put together.

No, but I have used the Great Stuff Pro Series Insulating Foam Sealant flexible and non bowing window and door with this gun and it worked great. Just make sure to clean the nozzle with Vaseline prior to storage so it does not get clogged.

It is for a manual roll up window. I had an auto window Tec install then. It is doing fine to date. Good luck!

I took the slide out unit out of the frame and very carefully installed the frame in the window. Pay close attention to the instructions. Jim

Yes, there are two releases. A plastic black clip removes the pressure off the window and the rubber flap removes the suction cup. You can do it all with one hand.

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.

The picture shows the type that requires the use of foam gun. It will not work without it at all. The type sold at HD comes with a straw that you attach to the can. Both can be used in either direction. Be sure to wear disposable gloves because it will NOT come off your clothing or skin ! Also, do NOT use red color can around door jambs or windows due to high expansion which can warp openings. They make a low expansion foam in the blue color can.

No, you buy it separate. I didn't and ended up using fiberglass window screen instead. That worked in my case. Stopped the leaks.

It is one piece so you have to install the whole thing. You can zip up the back area and roll it up just like you can roll up the soft top back window. Even thought it is one piece you can install it and also have the soft top on at the same time. That way you can take off the side windows and still have the net in place. I usually keep both on all summer, like you said when the sun is too hot I like to have the top up, but take it down in the evening.

You can not use this unit for a side slide window, they make special units for side windows. They cost much much much more.

We take ours in and out as needed. The install kit comes with a weatherstripping flap so the door can be moved. There is also a linkage to allow locking of the door to the panel so there is some security. We only remove it if we're having a party and need the door. Use a large stick in bottom track to keep door secure. Love the door and so does our dog!

If you are using the weather stripping that came with the door, it won't matter - it will fall off when you open and close the door a few times anyway. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some decently sticky and a bit thicker foam insulation. Cut it to fit so that the insulation attached to the opposite side frame of the sliding door and rubs, but doesn't adhere to the stationary window. Good luck - we and our dog LOVE our door, but the insulation had to be replaced almost immediately after installation due to the lack of adhesiveness and the rubber grips the stationary window too much for it to stay on.
