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.

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.

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

Very helpful! I can clearly see that I purchased a door seal for a wooden garage door when I have metal! :) I now have a clear understanding of how to install it thanks to your details. I have tiny unwanted guests that need to stay outside!! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent tip about placing the bottom of the garage door just above the bend, it should make installation much more easier. Thanks for your video

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.

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.

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? 🤔
@dananolan78477 ай бұрын
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??

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.

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

@privatename36212 жыл бұрын
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.

Same here. That’s why I’m here searching. Haha! I’d hate to screw up the mechanism of the garage.
@jlruiz76342 жыл бұрын
Was that the only way to replace the seal? By moving the metal plates?
@benhuang51923 ай бұрын
I want to replace my seal, but I am still wondering whether the thickness of the T-slot should be 2mm or 1.5mm. It is said that 2mm will be difficult to install.
@HereWeGo0o0 Жыл бұрын
This was brutal. When your seals won’t slide in the T-track, good luck.

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 Жыл бұрын
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.

Thanks for the video. I cant believe it. I put the seal on backwards.
@KJC632 жыл бұрын
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.

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!!!

Yeah, I'm questioning all this praise, this is NOT a good outcome. I get being proud of tackling a home improvement, but this needs a second attempt. Buy the less beefy seal,like the original one, that's the proper length.

@adams44259 ай бұрын
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.

@@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.
