E.Place a shim at each of the top corners slightly above the partially driven (factory supplied) attachment screws in the jambs. NOTE: If the shims are aligned with the attachment screws, the frame may bow away from the shims when driving the screws. Drive each top attachment screws halfway in to hold the window in place while shimming it plumb and square.
