Love the lunch lady kitchen gloves....😅😅😅😅 Great video. I subscribed

[@eaunver]

You should increase down travel of the door another 1/2". It will seal the gap better.

[@hectorg.7282]

Most garage door weather strips are made with a very thin and cheap rubber (unless you want to spend $200), the one you used is built so much better than the average and at a great price. Thanks for posting the link for it.

[@VibrantDeals]

Very true! This one is still holding up like brand new. It is so cheap that I don't mind if I had to change it out every couple of years. The quality seems like it will last at least a decade or more.

[@stewsmith3536]

Super great how to video. Now I just got to get my helped involved like you did! The Amazon rubber gasket looks like the right way to go. Thank you!

[@Theshootfashion]

Thanks for the great video. Much appreciated!

[@blackericdenice]

I bought my first house 4 years ago last month. The garage door broke the first day. I watched a few youtube videos and was able to fix it. My neighbor said he paid a company $4,000 to fix his. Thank you for you video. I've been wondering why my door don't go all the way down.

[@cornettric]

Very well done video thank you

[@VibrantDeals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidmohr4606]

If the seal is in good shape, but doesn't seal well, I use foam backer rod inside, 3/4", 2 lengths, pulled into seal interior with an electrical fish tape. Works pretty well, until complete replacement is necessary. I'll be using the seal used in this video when the time comes.

[@VibrantDeals]

Great input sounds like a plan.

[@Alycanj]

I have one bent to hell track and no idea what size should go in and had to cut and scrap out old seal, what a pain.

[@trtech7496]

Great video! Super thorough and informative. Saves me so much money instead of hiring someone to do the job

[@VibrantDeals]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@adgar912]

Yep, garage place wanted to charge me $225

[@iphone3gsdivine]

I got quoted $350 per door (2doors) and he wanted to use a very thin rubber. If he had this style I would’ve did it. But he said he never heard of this and he been doing doors for over 10years.

[@HereWeGo0o0]

This was brutal. When your seals won’t slide in the T-track, good luck.

[@KJC63]

you should have a hole on the side of your garage door opener motor casing, turning one way will make the door come down further - so no light gets in.

[@cindyrsdu5555]

Can you please answer my question? We have an 2 garage door similar to yours, except our garage door when down sits on the concrete, not the garage door. Our takes the U shape rubber. When we put the new rubber on we are seeing light from second panel and little light on third panel. The old rubber u shape didn’t show light and the reason we took that off it had broken on the right side. Do you have any ideas of what we can do concerning light coming through? Cindy

[@privatename3621]

You guys are lucky if you have this type of garage door track. The one I have has metal plates on the outer edge blocking the ends of the T-channel, so I can simply slide it off. I guess I need to remove the entire channel track but without moving the lower hinge plates of the door (which are bolted over it) because those plates are also attached to the pins for the high tension wires attached to the torsion spring.

[@jlruiz7634]

Same here. That’s why I’m here searching. Haha! I’d hate to screw up the mechanism of the garage.

[@jlruiz7634]

Was that the only way to replace the seal? By moving the metal plates?

[@mykalimba]

I have a similar situation on my garage door, where the original seal is about 4-6 inches shorter than the door on each side, and I'm pretty sure that the seal spanned the entire door when it was new. Where does all of that length disappear to? Some alternate universe? 🤔

[@dananolan7847]

perhaps because it literally shrunk, yup I had mine replaced 3yrs ago from edge to edge, it is currently 3" short on both ends. so my thoughts are what material would have this occur, ie vinyl, rubber, some polyvinyl??

[@Anton-du-Fleur]

12 minutes ALONE this is soooo easy

[@BF8425]

How do you know what size to get 1/4" or 5/16", where to you measure to make sure? Thanks

[@AcapellaPodcast]

I have same question

[@akaspick]

Slide your existing one out and measure it.

[@prxjectcris]

I been installing mines but its really hard to run it. I cant pull it, i also applied silicone lube but no shot. I can only feed a quater of it

[@THEJ0KER8888]

It literally does take 2 people. I know these guys have to have watched other videos and know this. I installed the same door seal and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be even with 2 people. Get some help, it’ll go a lot quicker. BTW, I didn’t need anything in the track to get it to move easier. God bless!!!

[@kataysmith9581]

I like your garage floor. What is it?

[@VibrantDeals]

It doesn't have a finish. It is just concrete.

[@adgar912]

Thank you so much!! This video helped a lot and my wife was pullin it too just like yours lol one question, I bought the exact same reinfirced one as you but now my garage door wont close all the way, do I have to tweek the chain or regretably go with the cheaper thinner rubber?? What do you recommend?

[@VibrantDeals]

Glad I could help! All you have to do is adjust your low limit on your garage door. Not sure what system you have but just look up how to adjust hight of garage door. I did that with mine so it does not bang too close to the ground.

[@jamesplatanitis6252]

what about mice getting in lots of room for them to come into your hotel ; ]

[@chadsanders3506]

Put down a threshold seal

[@VibrantDeals]

That's coming soon.

[@GhulamAli-jh3un]

The garage door should rest on the recess to completely seal not on the garage floor as the video shows.

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

You need to adjust everything

[@MrMojo271]

Why are you wearing gloves?

[@deNNyTheWiseMAN1]

To anyone doing this for the first time.......this is not a 1 man operation.

[@adams4425]

It actually can be a one man job. I replaced my 18 foot wide bottom seal by myself with a spray can of cable lube and a small vicegrips attached to the leading end of the seal which I hooked bungy cords to. It wasn't the easiest job, took about an hour of feeding 1 to 2 inches at a time then helping the seal move down the door while the bungies helped pull as if someone was helping on that end. I recommend getting the seal for the next wider size door and cutting the ends as long as possible without interference cause these seals seem to all shrink over time.

[@SzechuanChickenDog]

​@@adams4425DAMN! That's a great idea. I learn as much or more from the KZbin comments than the actual videos... So many times I want to do a project and I know even if I go to a video where somebody doesn't do it right...then you will have all kinds of people chiming up in the comments telling you what they did wrong and how to do it. So then you can see 25 different opinions about his method and learn about all types of other ideas.

[@micheledaugherty275]

Poor seal!!

[@VibrantDeals]

Works for me
