Bruno, I solved this problem by aligning the windows before removing the protecting film from the VHB tape and hanging the windows in place with two strips of wide masking tape from the top side(like two big hinges). You can take the time to align the space just as you want(i.e. readjust the masking tape), then lift the window up from the bottom while it is still hanging from the masking tape, remove the VHB film, and gently swing the window into place. This is how did it with ports up to 50” long on the LF38.
