So many posts went off on tangents.

Set a level on the top of the housing and make sure it tilts down toward the
outside 5/16".

Follow other suggestions offered for shimming or supporting as needed to
accomplish this.

This pitch is so slight that the unit should look almost level when viewed.

Enjoy the cool.

Thanks for the responses. Got it fixed. This is my first window unit. I
was putting it into a vinyl replacement window in the finished attic and I
had some kind of mental spasm when visualizing what a wooden casement window
looked like. I had to build a wooden base inside the vinyl lip. For some
reason I put it outside the first time. Possibly age...
