I am somewhat confused by the written instructions vs the video tutorial with regards to quartering the hood placement. The video shows measuring the full length and quartering without regard to overlap at centre front. The instructions say to measure the quarter marks from the 3” marks which will be centre front. This is how I am reading it. Your assistance would be appreciated in clarifying. Thank you.
Definitely go with the written instructions. I def could have made a mistake.
