Can you close &amp; open window after installed? How does it attach to the wall? What is it that fits into the window track? Will it work with a 7" sill?

Depends on the window. I can't fully close mine, but I can see where it would be possible. 2 hooks hang on the window sill, 2 supports rest on the wall, held inplace just by weight. Still its very sturdy. 2 cats sit on it very comfortably. Should work with 7 inch sill.

You can install the unit, it will fit in 16", but the side panels won't. But with a slider you can slide the window up against it. But it's made for a double hung window and needs a sash to come down on top of it to hold it in place. You could devise some way of putting a bar across the top anchored to the sliding sash and jamb. It's a neat little unit.

We installed ours in a three pane window frame, i.e., left & right vertical windows open, and the center one is all glass. We measured and created a template that we used to cut a plexiglass replacement for the all glass window pane. So, we removed the window, installed the unit on a mount, then installed the plexiglass. In the Fall, we remove the unit, and reinstall the full glass window pane.

yes you have to open the window. there is a 8-10 inch high panel that fits in the window and you attach the exhaust pipe to that. When you close the window, it holds the panel in place (not perfectly). you should check out Home Depot -- I was there recently and saw they have newer LG models -- smaller , sleeker and cheaper.

If you have window that opens up from the bottom, there are mental L's you have to attach to the shelf and slip over the sill. If you window opens out you have to secure the shelf with screws.

No you need to screw it to the top ...but it could be screwed to the window and close the window on top of the screws... The window will be open 1/8 of an inch

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).

It comes with a Velcro attachment system, which you can stick onto the window sill and pull off when you leave.

Yes, if you are 'handy' at all. Try one of these options. #1 Use 2 window panel kits which are slid & pegged together. The other option is try the EdgeStar APPK2010 door kit. #2 Go to a Plexiglas Shop and have them cut a 7" wide x height of your door frame panel for you. Several people have posted they had the shop cut the vent hole into the Plexiglas so they didn't have to mess with the kit. One even used an optically-styled piece of Plexiglas to make sure people noticed it (and they didn't walk into it). #3 Go to a home improvement store, which offers 2-3 free 'cuts', on a purchased plywood panel and have it cut to the size you need (the nice thing is the plywood can slip into the door tracks for 2 sided stability). On #2 & #3, I would make sure to cover the long open edge with paint/tape...etc., so some doesn't pick up splinters/cut themselves on it when using the door. Please remember you may need a new sliding door track lock/s. It needs to be very sturdy if you are going to be using the door for inside/outside access.

I use the fan on a window 5.5 inch sill in a smallish window. It does hang off the front of the sill, but the weight centered more towards the back side. The fan is angled back from the bottom towards the top, and the motor sits in the opening where the window glass would be, but does not touch the screen. It works great in this mode, and has more than enough power to keep from losing airflow if a door is opened or closed.

You can leave the base in the window sill, but don't think you can leave the entire bracket in. Not sure if window will close. I always remove the bracket when I remove the A/C. It takes less than 5 minutes to take it out (and put it in, once installed).

Your best bet is probably to buy a board that is the exact same width as the window kit and simply close it in the slider on top of the hose/window piece that comes with the unit.

No but you will want to secure the window somehow so that it cannot open. I cut a broomstick to fit exactly in the space between the raised window and the top of the window sill.

I would say no. It's designed for a square railing. While you might be able to span the sill and window frame, I can't see being able to close the window.

Depends on the window. My window will not fully close, because it has an edge that extends out hitting the padding. I just close it onto the carpet and stuff a towel at one corner where the pad does not extend. In another window it will close all the way. If the 2 L brackets that are used with the pad for placing in the window were a bit longer, I would be able to close the window. Pad does not need a window sill to work.

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.

You have to either use the hook and loop tape or screw it to your window sill. If you tried the former and it did not work and you do not want to do the latter, then you have wasted your money like I did. This is not a good product.
