Garage Door Seal Top and Sides Seal Strip White 34.4FT Rubber Weather Stripping Replacement Soft and Hard Composite, Weatherproofing Universal Sealing

I bought this to close some gaps on the sides of my garage doors. The material was pretty stiff, so after cutting it into the correct lengths, I laid it out flat in reverse under some weights for about 24 hours. Then before putting it up, I laid it out again (under weights) for five hours or so in the sun. Attaching it was easy and it creates a tight seal without impeding the garage doors when operating. I used another brand before (bought at Lowes), but it disintegrated after only a year--probably a combination of the cold winters in upstate New York and full sun in the summer. This seems much more sturdy and the rubber should last longer.

Good quality but stiff. Will unroll and lay flat in the sun prior to cutting and installing. Don’t plan on using screws and caps provided. Installing with traditional metal roof screws with washers. Easy to cut

Don’t use the screws included with these, they break with the most minimal torque leaving a screw half sticking out.The material of the trim is good. The trim is a durable quality that is flexible, but ridged enough to ensure a clean straight edge.They make a good seal around the edges and my garage is noticeably better at regulating temperature. I tried a few different kinds and liked these the most because of the straight edges.These probably could be painted, but the white is nice and matches well with alabaster white color.Put these up when it’s warm. The trim is rolled up when shipped and needs to be laid in the sun for about 30 minutes to warm up and flatten out.When you are cutting them, cut the silicon flap with a box cutter and use pruning shears to snap through the thicker part easy.I installed it myself in about an hour, it actually took a little longer because a few screw heads broke off and I had to pry them out. Mine broke even with pre-drilled holes.The adhesive is strong and can hold the weight of the trim while you drill and screw them in. It made installation much easier. You can pull the trim off and readjust without the glue peeling off the trim. Just make sure you clean the surface first to make it stick better.I didn’t like the look of the white screw covers that are supposed to mask the screws. It looked better just with the screws flush against the trim.

after some prep work there installed easyly. a work of worning, don,t install when it is cold.

This is not a quality product, first it is rolled up and cannot lay flat, I had it on my driveway in 89 degree temps and it never flattened out. The adhesive is not thick enough to reach beyond the vinyl to hold on the wood, the screws to hold it are cheap and strip before they get tightened. Halfway through the project I gave up and I now I need to get the PVC type to replace this. Don’t buy it!!

This was fairly easy to install - you do need to follow directions about unrolling in the sun.It is sealing in my garage from weather, heat and bugs.This would have been a 4-5 star except for the package of screws and caps.I had the same issues as other reviewers regarding adhesion - which would have been fine if there were enough screws.There are not enough. By a long shot. I had extra footage I didn't use and there weren't enough.And I needed those screws to overcome the weak adhesive.Quite a few screws were - well - they weren't screws. There were no threads. Fairly important identity crisis for parts calling themselves screws.Then there were the caps. Which you need. Which you have even less of than the screws that aren't all screws.I can find screws. I can't find caps. We shouldn't have to find either.Which is where you get to call amazon and labor through 3-4 minutes of the computer voice.When you finally reach a human - you discover they will credit you $10 which doesn't quite cover the tax."I just need 2 more packs of screws and caps - one of each color."(Yes - both orders came with threadless screws, not enough screws and not enough caps - so the manufacturer unilaterally has decided you don't need screws or caps for 30% of their own pre-drilled holes- to save money? - FYI - not a great strategy)Kindly, the rep determined the only fix is to send me full replacement boxes for each color.Then I will take out the 2 screw and cap plastic baggies.Then I drive to the return center, cause I have all the time in the world, and return the 2 boxes minus the screws and caps packages, so I can complete the work on my garage doors using the fast, simple process of ordering through amazon.So this is a pretty great product, except for the adhesive.Which wouldn't matter IF you had enough threaded screws and caps.Fix that and it will be great.

Solves the gap problems created by critters… until next time

I NEVER write reviews, but I liked this product and would like to pass along my learning curve.1. Unroll and let the insulation strip heat in the sun to get thecurve relaxed.2. Measure twice, cut once, the three lengths according to yourgarage3. Do your math and mark the points where you want to placethe support screws and drill the holes. I used a 7/64 drill bit.4. Stick the weather stripping by removing the red adhesiveprotector small section by section, using a level to keep thestripping straight.5. Once the stripping has been stuck to the facing, then insertthe screws. Tight but not so tight that it distorts thestripping.6. For additional support, I put 2 white paneling nails in themiddle between the screws (see pic)7. My Daddy taught me to love mitered corners, which I cutearly in the process (see pic). I cannot undo it. I would havebeen much better and energy efficient if I had NOT miteredthe corners. The square ends would have looked better andbeen more energy efficient.I WOULD REORDER AGAIN IF I WERE DOING A SECOND GARAGE DOOR!
