Review on 🚪 Long-lasting Black Rubber Garage Door Bottom Seal by M-D Building Products, 16 Feet – Ensures Superior Protection by Brad Bowers

PROS: The price is VERY cheap and actually quite wide (other reviews have complained about it) CONS: IF you actually use this as the only gasket for it Virtually no depth at the bottom of the garage door, allowing water, wind, dirt, insects and critters to enter. If your garage floor isn't very level and the garage door is closed with a downward and sustained force (unlikely), there will be gaps. The band is made of a rubbery material that is almost spongy to the touch. The nails provided do NOT look like the picture, they include a black plastic washer as along the length the nails can tear the rubber strip. Note that almost ALL garage door floors these days are metal, so a nail is useless. I did NOT purchase this to replace my current seal but was hoping to use it as a CHEAP band aid a bit. I have a two car garage with one door. There is a gap of a few centimeters on either end where my weatherstrip is short. It's been like this since I bought the house from the previous owner. I live in Florida and the other day I heard my wife scream - the snake was in our garage! Snakes are everywhere in Florida, it's like most of it is a harmless garter snake, but still nothing you want to see - not even in a garage. I bought this as a quick/cheap fix. I cut it to the length of my gap and tried to attach it to the bottom of the door. was already on the screw in the area I needed to fix, so I started with that. I quickly realized that a puck was needed because my first try ripped through the strip. My next problem was that I had to drill a starter hole in the underside of the door's metal plate, which was quite thick. My 18 volt battery powered drill (or maybe the little drill I ended up having) did NOT get the job done. After more than 5 minutes of drilling with considerable pressure, I hardly left any marks on the door. The next idea I had was to somehow glue a piece to the bottom of the door. I've tried almost everything. Double-sided heavy-duty mounting tape, a full tube of Crazy Glue, and even Mighty Putty, which they say you can use on rubber. Absolutely NOTHING will stick to this "similar" rubber strip. In the end I just cut 3 pieces from each end lengthwise, stacked them on top of each other, laid them on the floor where there was a gap and closed the door. I'll just call the garage door company on Monday and they'll replace the whole thing. I would rate it lower except that it's a good price and might work for a select few people.
