It could be trimmed down for a Small Wide, but you'd be paying for material you cut away; the PT2955 panel is the better fit and the better value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the extra height make it harder to fit than the shorter panels?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot materially — the mounting method is the same bead of silicone across the back. It's just a larger sheet, so having a second pair of hands to hold it in place while the silicone cures makes the job easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat do I use to stick it to the glass?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 100% aquarium-safe silicone sealant, applied in a bead pattern to the back of the panel before pressing it into place.
