A preferred fenestration product (10), such as a window, includes a plurality of installation fins (22) rotatably coupled with the mounting surfaces (36) of respective frame members (28,30) of the product (10). Each fin (22) is rotatable between a retracted position in which the fin (22) is positioned flush against a respective mounting surface (36) and extends toward the outboard side (32) of the product (10), and an extended position in which the fin (22) extends outwardly from a respective mounting surface (36). This configuration allows the product (10) to be installed in a building opening (12), shimmed as needed for level and plumb with the fins (22) in the retracted position, and then rotated to the extended position and attached to the framework (16) surrounding the opening (12).

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A fenestration product for installation in a building opening defined by a framework having an exterior face, said product comprising:a fenestration structure including a frame having a frame member presenting an outboard side, an inboard side and a mounting surface therebetween,said frame member having an elongated coupling slot in said mounting surface and a lip projecting into said slot; andan elongated installation fin having a generally J-shaped transverse cross-sectional configuration, presenting a coupling crook,said coupling crook being rotatably received in said slot and hooked over said lip for rotation of the fin between a retracted position in which said fin is positioned substantially flush against said mounting surface and extends toward said outboard side and an extended position in which said fin extends outwardly from said mounting surface.
