Karel:

I don't know if this will help but when I installed the bungie chord I cut
it in two half length pieces.  I then tensioned the left side and secured
it in the middle of the frame then proceeded to do the same with the right
side.  It was a good deal easier to work with the shorter  length.  Also if
a bungie broke or came loose you will still have a 50% capability.
