HELP! Cant get legs onto Sunpod?!

Maybe I am inept, maybe not, but after reading the instructions and trying to get the legs on this thing, no dice.

It is the 20in 150w Halide set up. It instructs you to slide out the panel and then to install a set of legs on the OUTER ridge.... Well, the only way I could get the legs on was to squeeze it together a little and hook it on the inside edge, I am definitely facing the legs the right way as indicated in the picture.

However, if I put it on this way, I cant slide it shut! It runs into the legs! And I dont see any way in hell I can get the other set of legs on.

Is anyone well versed in this product? HELP! I already pulled the lid off of my Aquapod to put it on!

I had the same problem. couldn't get it to fit. Lucky me I just use a few chair felts put in each corner and just lay the light over my inclosed tank.

You just need to make sure that once you slide them into the rails, that you keep them perfectly even as you slide them down, or they won't move, and one will snap...trust me on the snapping...

You can only slide the panels one way... so once you get that open, slide in the far legs first facing out, then slide the closer ones facing the opposite way.
