At the OP: it may be too late now, but I purposely did my install during cool weather. The only issue with cooler temps was it's effect on the plastic staple strips. But it seems you have screws up and down.

Can't recall posters name but he made a video of this job. It was done during a warmer-hotter time of year. (I'm sure he would have chosen cooler temps if that were possible!) I couldn't imagine doing this job in warm or hotter temps.

Neil.
