Do you have to slide the cover on length-wise, or can you snap it on vertically? I'd like to install this between two windows that have moulding.

With difficulty you should be able to. However you might consider hanging half the device, slide half over the window molding,then install the rest and slide it back on from the molding.

Easiest to slide it on lengthwise. It is possible to "snap" it on, but that requires a lot more patience and effort

I feel this item is not really designed for window installation, not that it isn't duerable but the size will require a special frame of wood to make it fit. Good luck

I think that it will protrude enough that the sliding part won't be able to clear it when opening. Mine is put away now however so can't recall an exact measurement. It sounds forced and awkward to me as it is specifically intended for a small window opening. This is why it is relatively expensive compared to other units.

I used it last summer in a horizontal window (slides l/r). I used a piece of wood to hold the sliding side firm against the a/c, and a thin sheet of opaque Plexiglas over the top. A mount was installed to support from the bottom. I filled any open spaces that remained with double-sided adhesive weather stripping. The sliders are only for regular (up/down) type windows, save them for if you ever need them (my landlord changed our windows from slide to regular this summer).

Yes, it should work fine mounted vertically. Just leave enough room above or below to slip the roll on.

It does slide on, so you would need enough space in the recessed area to do it.

Just in case, there are no installation instructions and I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. The bottom frame has Velcro closure that lifts. Away from from cover allowing Surface to slide in. I'm sure you would have figured it out after some aggregating minutes of "this doesn't fit!" The first time I tried, I just got discouraged and packed it away for a few months, until I saw your question and took it out and re-examined. OHHH! Like a vision suddenly appearing.I have the Surface 2, bought on sale when the 3 came out.

I one I -purchased jsut slide on the bottom of the door. I had to trim it though due to its length. I used a pair of pvc cutters to do the trimming.

It should just slide out. Just pull the center, grey part, right above the window. If it doesn't slide right out, that's an issue that I would talk to the company about.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.

You first install their wall plate cover (remove yours) which has grooves on the sides that the first box slides up on, and then the second box slides down. The two teeth looking tabs on the front lock/click in to the horizontal grooves on the first box. I will probably work for your purpose!

The piece that fits into the window can fit vertically or horizontally. It expands to fit the window vertically.

Part of the design is you twist the lever around in circular motion until the clamps close around the part of the window that you are attaching it to. Once tight enough, you lower the lever which "locks" it into place. All it takes is a little push of strength to push the level up and then untwist the clamps. Perhaps you can try it and install without him watching you. They are pretty cheap and offer you nominally better protection than you currently have.

I don't know about other kits but this one can be used vertically with a little tape. I use mine on a back window so I just used the duct tape I had, you should be able to find something that is sturdy and blends in with the kit.

I am not at the location where the aluminum sliding hardware was installed. I installed it on three different types of aluminum windows without running into any problems. I used the hardware on windows only.

Yes, the included window installation kit can work with both horizontal and vertical sliding windows. The maximum length of the window cannot exceed 50".

Yes. I installed mine vertically. Holds fairly tight. Just have to make sure the window is closed tight enough to hold it.
