Review on Universal Rubber Weatherstripping Kit For Garage Door Bottom Seals - Effective Replacement With Weatherproof Threshold Buffering & Sealing - 5/16" T Ends, 3 3/4" Width - 16 Ft Length by Ham Channell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Tough to make the right length. Hard to tell how much it will shrink.

The replacement install is not easy but they never are as a rule. I received the seal rolled up in a bag, which makes it extremely difficult to straighten out. We live in a very cold climate so I soaked the seal in hot water to make it easier to straighten. I left 1 1/2 inches on each side and it shrank over a one week period to being 1 1/4 short on each side! I could not have left more hang over without getting caught in the door. Not sure how to do it better next time.

Pros
  • Nice heavy seal,much better than the original.
Cons
  • May not provide optimal protection against snow and ice
