It's cold. Install Diamondback now or wait for warm days?

    Hey-o,

    I just got my Diamondback HD for my DCSB in and I live around Boston where it's just started to get cold as shiz. Temps are about in the 40's in the day and around freezing 32'ish at night on a consistent basis.

    Should I just wait to install this thing until I know itll be warmer during the day and won't get freezing overnight? Wasn't sure of the weatherstripping would fare better if I just wait to install it when I get a few random 50 degree plus days.

    Am I overthinking and I should just install it?

    Ah, I get your train of thought. You think the already installed weatherstripping on the cover itself will crush and settle ok for it's first time when cold?
