Pictures intended self explanatory. Ask questions.

This novel aspect of this version is the simple rope and S hooks vs the more complex and expensive hangers used by others.

Next is to create a reusable gap cover. Thinking fabric/magnets. Others have created some really nice solutions for this. ... My previous quick version of this was taped together Amazon shipping bubble wrap bags.

The pool noodle is ok but an upgrade will be a notched channel so unit weight in on door metal rather than glass.

You can see how bent your condenser fins are. I made a grill from a screen door dog protector I purchased from Lowe’s. Not my idea. If you look in my gallery, you can see it installed. Was easy to resize and has really saved the fins.
