The window channel material I bought isn't the correct length for the doors, but I don't know what length it's supposed to be, and I'm too dumb to be able to figure it out by measuring it because I can't get inside the door. Does anyone know the length? Also, how does one attach the lower part of the channel?

Okay, I've figured it out. I jammed a tape down each side and found the metal channels to be 19" each, form where the channel seats to the top edge. Then, I "thinned" a plastic yardstick (you know, the ones they hand out at home shows) and measured around the door opening. Total - 88.5 inches. I measured i three times to be sure, then cut the channel and tired to put it in. Too short. Despite all my measuring of the track. wasn't all that careful with measuring the channel, and cut off 80.5 inches. Crap!!!! Now I'm going to try to piece in the eight inches.
