📖 How to Install Water Drain Clips

1. Clean the Module Frame: Ensure that panel frame edges are free of dust, oils, or residues.
2. Align the Clip Correctly: Position the clip where water runoff is most needed, typically at the bottom edge.
3. Snap into Place: Press firmly for a secure fit. No tools required for most designs.
4. Verify Clip Stability: Ensure clips are securely fastened and flush with the frame to avoid airflow drag.
