    Video Transcript

    "Okay, in this segment we're going to cover installing a door insert. And there should be one for each door. And each insert is held down by the three small screws--black screws. So what they do, they're just going to lay right in place, look down, line up your holes with the plastic push-ins underneath, and if you're going to use a screw gun make sure it's turned down to torque set low. Then just start them. Before I tighten them down, I always get all the screws started. Now checking your carpet once again, make sure everything is in place, just go ahead and snug them up. Now we'll move to the back door. And if you notice, it's got a little bit different design on it--comes up and curves and ties into the back, so there's one extra on the back, back here in this corner. Just fit it in place, just like you did the front one. Make sure your screw holes all line up. Now I got all three--I'm going to snug them down. Okay, I'll get this back one installed. Then we'll go over and install the front one on the other side, and then the one behind it."
