SDL Bar Installation Instructions
(Smooth Star / Fiber Classic)
7. Assemble the horizontal and vertical divider(s). Use masking tape to secure the divider bars together at the joints.
Peel off the Carrier Backing from all of the divider pieces. Clean any trimming residue from tape using
70% Isopropyl Alcohol. Lightly place the tips of small zip ties or coffee stirrers roughtly 1/8” onto the adhesive
backs as shown. For each of the divider bars, position 1 tie at each end of the divider and each joint, and 1-2 ties
in the middle. The ties will keep the adhesive backing off of the glass during final positioning.

Glass Preparation:
Moisten a clean cloth with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol or use an adhesion promoting solution. Wipe the glass before
attaching dividers. Allow to dry.
FAILURE TO PREPARE THE GLASS PROPERLY WILL RESULT IN POOR TAPE ADHESION.
DO NOT USE A GLASS CLEANER TO PERPARE THE GLASS AS THIS WILL PREVENT PROPER ADHESION.
SDL Installation:
1. Position the divider grid back onto the glass using the frame position marks. Check to ensure that, for all of the
frame to divider points, there is a 0.015” - 0.020” gap between the divider and the frame. Once in position, press
down at all of the ends opposite the zip tie to lock the position, and then pull out that zip tie. Once all of the divider
ends are attached, pull out the middle zip ties from the dividers. Using a J-Roller, roll firmly along the entire length
of the horizontal and vertical dividers. Look through the interior side to confirm all dividers adhere to the glass,
particularly around the perimeter and divider joints. Once attached, remove the masking tape.
2. Repeat steps for interior frame side.
