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 Ricky Gilbert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A little bit short on my review.

I read others had a hard time pulling the seal over the entire run. I agree, but spraying soapy water along the front edge did help.My main complaint is that the length once installed was about 2 inches short. Leaving an inch unsealed at each end is a perfect entry point for mice. Maybe the actual length is 16 ft. but when installed there is a bit of shrinkage in the length. I saw other choices that mentioned a few extra inches of length (say 16 ft. 2 inches) which would have solved my problem. My solution will be to add 2 inches from the old seal on one end to assure the entire length is sealed. I gladly would have paid $1 more to get 4 inches more length that I could have trimmed as necessary. Another solution is to pay for the 20 ft. version and cut as needed, which is what I wish I would have done. Don't make the mistake of dismissing the people who ended up short because I found out it's a real problem.

Pros
  • A struggle to install because of my finger strength. Its a 2 man or more job
Cons
  • The description said 20ft but it was only 16th long.
