Garage Door Bottom Weather Stripping Kit

Let me first say I was dreading replacing my 12+ year-old garage door seal strip. I was imagining having issues getting the old one out as well as problems installing the new strip. I read the reviews about using soapy water to lubricate the metal slots and rigging up a clamp or something to hold up the rubber seal on the infeed side. All of this was very helpful and I suggest you use these suggestions during installation.Installation process:I started out by removing the old seal from each door (I have two single garage doors). Both came out relatively easy. The track and door was pretty dirty so I took a bucket of soapy water and cleaned the bottom of the door with a green scotchbrite pad. I then ran the edge of the pad in and along all of the tracks. Once I had everything relatively clean, I set up a clamp on the opposite door to hold the strip at the same level of the door. I fed the end of the strip through the clamp and installed both tabs in the slots. The first few feet were a breeze. After about 3-4 feet, I had to start the process if pushing at the infeed side then going to the edge of the strip and pulling a few inches. I continued this process until I had about 3" excess strip on the other end of the door. At that point, I folded the end back onto itself and pushed this excess into the end of the door slot. I went over to the infeed side of the door and cut the excess at 3" and I folded the excess onto itself and inserted it into the edge. I made sure that the overhang of rubber was not going to interfere with normal door travel. I then repeated the process on the other door.A couple of suggestions to make the install easier:1. Make sure the slots and area around the slots are clean. Dirt can hamper the install by causing friction or blocking the slot.2. Go slow. Don't force the rubber strip. It looks like it would tear easily.3. Make sure you measure the slots or old seal tabs. This fits a T-Track that is 5/16" wide.I didn't have to adjust my garage door opener to account for the new seal but I would imagine some doors might need a slight adjustment as the new seal is a little larger than the old (flat as a pancake) seal. I also didn't need any help installing. This may be because I had two single-garage doors and not a full size door.Hope this helps!

This was easy to install. It fit perfectly. Has a great seal to the ground to keep leaves and water out of garage. Quality was good. Worked great for our garage door.

I ordered this weatherstrip as a replacement for the one on my 9 ft. garage door. The product was as described and delivery was fast; installation was easy (it's good to have a helper) and the fit was perfect; this product doesn't seem as sturdy as the original one on my door so may not last as long, but I just installed it so durability is simply speculation on my part at this time. Seems like a good product for the price.

For now this is a 5 star because it seems solid at first glance and touch. For my garage doors it was extremely easy to install. Literally took my wife and i 3 mins each for two 9 foot garage doors WITHOUT any lubricant to assist. The old gaskets came right out. I cut it about 4 inches long to compensate for expanding and contracting from the weather. The space between my garage doors edge and the wheel track allowed for this extra slack. I started to do it myself, but to go a bit quicker I needed my wife to help me simply pull it from the start as I fed the two "T's" in the slots under the garage doors. Otherwise, it would have taken me a bit longer as I would have had to pull then feed because the gasket comes flat and you have to roll it to half a circle in order for it to go into the slots under the door, which holds it. I pulled on both sides pretty solidly to make sure the T's would hold in, and theh are very solid. Theyre not going anywhere. The price IMO should be around 15 bucks for these things, but if it lasts a long while it will be worth it. I'm confident it will last and has completely sealed the bottom of my garage doors. Happy.

Bought it May 22, as of February 25, I see it split at the bottom, not mouse chewed just split leaving a big enough gap w allow mice and snakes on into the garage.... Easy install but Not worth buying as this should last at least a decade.Perhaps I had vinyl before or things are really bad in quality anymore? Not sure if it's not durable because itself rubber and in use in southern facing heat...still I'd think it would have lasted much longer as this is most definitely not the norm to replace every few years especially when I rarely open that garage door.

This so easy. This is perfect!! I was apprehensive about doing this job. I did not want to call anyone. I am a cheapo so, a self doer. This fit in my door tract perfect. Wow, had I known how easy I would have done years ago. Took 2 minutes to pull old one out...messy. 10 minutes to put this new one in by myself. When you get to the last 2 feet someone could have helped to shave 5 minutes off project. But one person can do it.

This worked great. Very satisfied. Quick shipping

Okay so this didn't really keep the cold out necessarily, but maybe it's the other seals on my garage door, or I might be flawed in thinking it shouldn't be cold in the garage in winter. it does have room though and I could put insulation inside this seal, and plan to. Went on easily with some soapy water. It's very nice looking and not stiff like I thought it would be. It flattens as much as your garage door will require to fully shut, and lock. Make sure you measure the T fitting though by pulling your old one out and you measure the width of the top horizontal of the T, not the vertical. We wasted $25 on another brand and didn't return cause of shipping. You'll buy this, and install, and then just appreciate having a new seal on the garage. I spent so much time wanting the best one shopping around, don't do that. Just buy it.
