Good product but screw guard needs work

I just installed one of these 36 inch latches/seals on my front door. I opened the door, removed the old brush (it was just self-locking on the bottom of the door) and fully seated the new brush. He hit the block of wood at the end with a hammer and advanced to the end. My door is 36 inches overall width so I didn't have to trim. The brush is completely on top of the door, but the gasket is just right. After installing the four screws, I began to put on the protective shield. It was a problem! The screen clamps the flexible vertical side of the brush, but the side will not flex when the aforementioned screws are tightened enough to hold the brush in place on the door. Even if the screws are loose, the friction is too great. I smeared petroleum jelly on the door and sign and wiggled the sign back and forth to finally install the sign. But the loose bolts are now only useful to limit the possible vertical and lateral movement of the trawl. However, I think that in my case there will be no problems with vertical movement, since the loop cannot be extended further, the loop is pressed against the door, and if it is lowered a little with the door open, it will be pressed on the back. back by the force generated by the lower seals and/or door sill. The only real problem is that in the event of a bump or other impact on the brush, it may require manual repositioning of the brush. The design of the brush needs to be redesigned to create clearance on the brush side of the screen to ensure low friction in the carriage. Alternatively, a snap design can be used. might be the best choice.
