E. Install top flashing tape. Cut one piece of flashing tape 2" wider than the width
of the top brickmould. Apply the top flashing tape so it extends 1" beyond the end of the top brickmould. Position the tape so it covers the vertical leg of the aluminum flashing and laps onto the sheathing above the door.
F. Fold down the top flap of the weather | 4F3E |

resistive barrier. Cut the barrier so it covers |
|
the vertical leg of the aluminum flashing, |
|
however does not lap onto the horizontal leg of |
|
the flashing. | 4G |
G. Apply flashing tape to the diagonal cuts. Cut | |
| 3F |
pieces of flashing tape at least 1" longer than |
|
the diagonal cut in the weather resistive barrier. |
