[@carolinatxan]

From a woman that does her own projects, thank you so much for this information!

[@FixThisHouse]

I’m glad I could be of help! 👍🏽🙏🏽😊

[@dontaylor8103]

Well done! Direct, helpful and very watchable. You are helping a lot of folks. We all say thank you!

[@AmyCOliver]

I googled my problem with my garage and found your video and it was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for walking through all of this. All of these are easy fixes that I can do by myself.

[@galvarez9572]

These are great tips and now I will be rechecking my garage doors. Dude your videos are very informative and great. Keep the great work.

[@RickCreating]

That’s insane! I’ve been having his problems for a while and this video popped up. Perfect timing. 👍🏼

[@mcweeneys]

Thanks for the tip. I wasn’t aware that there’s an adjustment for the door closing.

[@sjpropertyservices3987]

Would be interested in a follow-up video to check on how threshold is sticking and its condition after it has been installed for several months and has been exposed to traffic and weather.

[@frankcameron3676]

This is great. I just insulated the door... Next is the door seal. I never thought about a threshold seal.... Very interesting. Tks!

[@gizmo7877]

I have the problem of water getting into my garage every time it rains and cold air coming in all winter. So I searched you tube and your video was the easiest for me to understand, a DIY er, who does a lot of my own repairs. Never knew there was a seal for the floor. With winter coming, I can now insulate properly now. Very helpful video.

[@melissacastle5172]

This channel is great! You sound so professional and explain in terms everyone can understand. Thank you! I needed this.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much for the love and support! Means a lot! 🙏🏽😊

[@Putergurl1]

Great video, thank you so much! I just bought a new place and my garage door leaks rainwater at the bottom, so this shows me everything I need to look at doing to correct it. Thanks again!

[@deborahrothermund3573]

I just found your channel. I love your tips. I am working on several projects now. Insulating my garage door, and securing the garage. Also, the door security. I am so glad I found your channel. 😊

[@leewhitmore5350]

Don't replace that bottom seal, find an old garden hose and cut to garage door length (without the nozzle ends) and thread it into the that flattened hollow seal to regain the bottom flexibility!

[@209Checo]

Great idea

[@rustyboyer7311]

Tried that great idea but my floor is not level. It’s a 43 year old house.

[@mrsemifixit]

@@rustyboyer7311same here. Did you find a solution?

[@shauncunningham5088]

Actually that's a better idea to find an old hose. So you keep the seal and you put it old hose in there. Life, wise, and that would be a better seal for everything. Good idea thank you very much

[@paulorlando5877]

I thought of that too,lol.

[@asus9596]

Thanks for the video!

[@FixThisHouse]

You are most welcome! 🙏🏽😊

[@sammylinda2005]

Thank you so much!!

[@RobHTech]

u can use painters tape to mark the placement of the seal so it can be removed without marking the floor

[@AuralayKristine]

My garage has been leaking badly for years. We're going to replace the sealer but our garage door has some kind of bottom bracket thing we may have to take off first, so in the meantime, I'm going to try the sealer on the floor--I'm super hopeful about that, because we think the main issue is gaps where the weather seal is falling apart. Thank you for this video! (Also I'm excited about the brush attachments for the drill for several other projects!)

[@frankdrahos8569]

Good information here.

Great, my bottom of garage door piece is in need of replacement. In the south we have to contend with snakes. Last year one visited the screened in porch via under door gap, replaced that after brooming snake out to patio. Thanks your presentations are very easy to copy.

I don’t have the problem in the video but I know that one day I or someone I know may have will need it. Thank you for the turorial💯👍

Somehow it took this video for me to realize my garage doesn’t have side seals!! That’s definitely my issue and I didn’t even know they were missing haha!

I was wondering how to put the seal on the floor. Thank you.

[@mrshids]

How often should I be changing the bottom garage seal ?

[@ronm6585]

Thanks. 👍🏻

[@DerekGH]

Soaking the bottom seal in warm soapy water helps on the install.

[@jets1722]

thanks again!

[@porsche2ctr]

Great video showing various options. I’m having water issues due to a negative grade from street down drive to garage door. Looking for options. Thanks for the insight!

[@user-ve1ur8sj3m]

Is there any type of soft overlap flap or such that you can use for the garage door cracks between the panels? Also, do you have any idea how to replace one of the windows in the door with a window that either slides open or opens out for fresh air or to use for the exhaust hose of a portable AC unit?

[@vickib1478]

Great video

[@jalebjaba1487]

Great Video,but we have A new extended garage door the water comes through during heavy rains, we had the installers out ,they said it’s the way the concrete is moving the water,but it comes under the door,the other door is fine ,can’t get much help from the contractor as well. Frustrating. Thanks for your video. I subscribed. ❤

[@joeymozzer]

Do you need to add any caulking to the edge of the seal that is on the concrete?

[@virgil3241]

So will this stop rain water is when its driven by wind? I never get rain water, unless I get a wind blowing against my garage doors, so its driven under the seal. Seals are good and dont need replaced, and the concrete is smooth

[@sgthedrickjonathan6321]

Like video very helpful

[@FixThisHouse]

I’m glad I could be of help!

[@Fixxitt412]

I’m having this exact problem too, and hoping for an update a year later. Is the strip still glued down? Love the video! New sub here!

[@dianneburton2940]

Great info

[@HRTsAFyre]

I have a wooden garage door and bubble wrap under the seal in one spot stops the water from entering

[@XX-166]

Part of the issue with these rubber thresholds is the inability to mould to the contour of the surface that its closing against more then likely concrete and it’s changing dynamics

[@mikez123]

Another great video.

[@Jujukinksncurls]

The side of my garage floors are cracked and kinda sunken any tips to fit this?

[@firemandadffd3217]

Sooo. The blue knobs he suggested to turn in the back of that motor are the force knobs not the limits to adjust the height so don't adjust those and think it will work. Second. There was nothing wrong with his seal. They come loose like that. You can feed an old garden hose through it to help that out. Third, don't put white lithium grease anywhere on your garage door. It leaves a mess and attracts dirt and dust to it. Wd-40 is prefect. Bad information in this video but the threshold at the end does work so.. good for that.

[@dianaloureiro305]

Hi ii enjoy ur videos Can you do a video in a wall that get wet and got molded n needs to be replaced can you you a video on it please We appreciated . Take care God Bless you n you family.

[@larry7868]

Some doors have a flat bottom with no slot. I think they take a nail on seal. Have you ever come across this situation?

[@rustyboyer7311]

Thanks for all the helpful information but I have run into a problem. Come to find out by doing a water test on the garage door that concrete is not level on some areas. So I’m still getting in water. If there would happen to be another solution?

[@raphaelcamden9407]

The garage floor seal… would it be possible too roll a table saw over it???

[@FixThisHouse]

Yes, just be very careful and take it over slowly and deliberately. 👍🏽😊

[@houndsmanone4563]

I hope these tips keep the water from pouring into my garage doorway. 👍🏽🤠 05/08/24

The tube in the center of mine collapsed in a few places how could that be fixed

[@donaldlee1525]

What do I do if the bottom of the garage door is flat ?

[@nycxj65]

The higher side sit behind the garage door while the lower is facing foward correct?

[@223kcalder]

What would you do when there is a 3” gap on one side of the garage door? The slab the garage was built on sloped away from the house and wasn’t adjusted before the garage was built. 😢

[@chozen_juan]

Any follow up?

[@LuisLarreaJr]

I wonder if it be best to not leave any threshold in the roller channel, especially if you have the stock squishy seal as it might bend the rollers rod.

[@mrsemifixit]

When you use the seal that you glue to the concrete, does the garage door bottom seal have to be removed?

[@Ane_artdesigns]

Will that affect the garage sensor? Cuz my garage door seem too sensitive and won’t close or open the garage 😂hope to hear more of your suggestion for this specific concern. Thank you!

I should have watched this video years ago!

[@FixThisHouse]

I’m glad you found my video! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊

[@camaperture8116]

@@FixThisHouse I have some questions. I have an existing floor threshold seal from my previous garage door which was the flip up kind. I now have a garage door just like yours but it lands a bit more forward so the seal is too far back to be useful. (1) How can I remove the seal? It's stuck on there pretty good, as it should be. (2) Do you think I might be able to save it and re-glue it in place like you did in this video or I'll probably destroy it in the process? (3) If you think it can't be reused, would you remove it and then get a new seal or just leave it alone and add the new seal? Thanks for your advice!

I find there is a gap at each end of the garage door and dust can blow in not to mention those big cockroaches that live outside . I live in queensland australia. What is the name of the product to seal tge sides

[@joeyzbf2]

❌ WRONG !!! 1️⃣ Your wasting time and money installing a threshold. 2️⃣ can’t sweep and hose out garage. 3️⃣ people will trip over it ✅ CORRECT WAY: almost all garage door seals are round and hallow. If your seal goes flat or is unevenly sealing to concrete and has gaps and you want to increase threshold… Take and cut large diameter garden hose and feed it inside the hallow seal and trim edges. You can also purchase a hose 1/4” diameter smaller then the seal for even tighter fit. Now your door has a better even seal 👍🏻

[@bradfitz3472]

Awsome

[@enterprise59]

I tried this very garage door seal, and it arrived so smashed flat that it never worked for me.

[@teresahoye6477]

How do you fix a garage door that moves side to side?

[@itsmeray01]

In your video you show your Seal and say it is 20 feet long , You also show the Threshold as being 20 feet long. Then you leave links where to get them at Amazon, But your links are for 10 feet . I can see many people ordering the wrong size. can you correct your links.
