I had none of the problems mentioned by other reviews. Well-made product and easy installation.
Review date: August, 20, 2023 -Other reviews mentioned things such as this being a flimsy product and easy to rip or tear it even by hand, and about it being difficult to install. I found neither of those things to be true with the product I received. It was exactly as advertised and pictured. The rubber is heavy duty, supple, easy to work with, and feels durable for the long term. I tried to tear it by hand (as shown in one review with a video) and I couldn’t begin to tear it. The quality seems plenty good to last for many years, even here in Wisconsin where we have temperatures as high as 100F above zero in the summer to as low as 35F below zero in the winter.Still other reviewers mentioned that it was difficult to install and that they had a lot of problems. I ordered a 20-foot piece of this product to use on a pair of 9-foot-wide garage doors. I pulled out the old door seals which had seen many, many better days and were in terrible shape, brittle, broken, flattened, missing big chunks, and being at least 25 years old, origin unknown. I then used a broom to sweep the dirt and cobwebs off the bottom of the doors that had been hidden under the old seals. Then, I lubed the T-slots that this product slides into, all the way across the door using a product I had on hand called Fluid Film spray (great, useful product in its own right and available here on Amazon).I was able to replace the seals on both doors in about 30 minutes by myself, including gathering materials before and cleanup after. With one hand, I formed the new seal into a cup-shape (it ships flat and rolled up) and fed it into the door seal mounting slots, and with the other hand I pushed it along the bottom of the door until it reached the other side. I did it all while standing in one spot at one end of the door, and did not utter one cuss word the whole time. Then I used a good shop scissors I have to cut off at the proper length. Easy-peasy! The process of feeding the new seal through the slots took less than five minutes per door.Because of some of the reviews that said installation could be a headache and took them a long, frustrating time, I almost didn’t do it today because it was a bit hot outside and I didn’t want to get into problems in the heat. But on the spur of the moment this morning I decided to do the installation and it went great. I couldn’t have asked for better if I had designed the garage doors and the seal myself.If I notice any undue or early wear on this product that shouldn’t be happening I will come back to update this review, but thus far I’m very happy with the product, the installation and how much better the new seals look from both inside and outside of the garage. Much less light comes through compared to the old, worn-out seals, which means more of old man winter will stay outside where he belongs, and we heat our garage to about 60F in the winter, so that is a good thing.TL/DR : Great product. Heavy-duty, easy to work with, easy install went great, and I’m a happy customer.

Excellent product. Including some install tips.
Overall, excellent product.I personally did not experience any of the negative comments expressed by others. However, there may be reasons why as explained below.The quality of the product itâs good. Very sturdy. Easy to work with even in limited space, like I had. But you do have to be patient when installing the product. Not everything in life is force, some things require just a little patience, finesse, and know how.Remember to measure properly the size of the channels on the aluminum guide at the base of the garage door before buying this product. The product is NOT made for all doors so this is a crucial step. If you do not have a visible way to measure, you may need to cut off one of the corners of the existing seal to be able to measure correctly.Suggestions if youâre going to do this yourself:a) it is extremely important you watch several YouTube videos, where it shows how to install this and other similar products. You will get a lot of good tips on how to make your life easier and install the product properly. I wouldnât even recommend doing the installation unless you get familiar with some instructions and tips on how to do it.b) remove the old seal, cutting it through the middle all the length of the door and then pulling each side carefully. (Watch YouTube videos).c) one of the most important part of the installation, is inspecting the grooves or channels (aluminum guide) where the product is going to be installed at. Any imperfections, dents, debris, bends or anything else out of place will be a tremendous problem at installation time and a waste of lots of time. So the time invested doing this pays tremendously at the end. Any problems such as the ones I just listed, need to be corrected (cleaned, grinded, straighten out, etc) before inserting the new seal. This is crucial. It is possible you may also need a new aluminum guide. It is possible you may also need a new aluminum guide. Some problems cannot be solved.d) with a sturdy brush make sure the channels where the product goes are cleaned as best as you can. Any small debris can make the installation 10 times harder.e) apply WD-40 silicon grease to each of the two channels, making sure they are really, really wet.f) then, you can start inserting the seal at both channels equally and move it alone at the same pace. My recommendation will be to use a little bit of WD-40 silicon also on the actual sections of the seal that go into the channels to make sure that both the channels and the seal section are wet with silicon. This helps the product move alone in the channel with as little resistance as possible. *Note: This is technically a job for two people due to the fact that someone needs to be pulling on one side as you feed the seal into the grooves, however, I was able to install the product by myself just by following all the steps above. And trust me, Iâm not that strong.Hope the above helps make your life easier.

Seems Durable…Installation not as terrible as some say.
4 stars since I’ve only just installed it today. Seems durable rubber or whatever it’s made of. The packaging didn’t deform the product too much at all; I installed it immediately after opening. All I needed was some dishwasher detergent and one other person. For a 20 foot door, still required some effort to slide it on. Felt better about that though as I feel there’s no risk of it sliding off. Time will tell if it will do the job in the long run. For now, I have have a lovely tight seal against my garage door rather than holes on both ends from where the mice ate the old one. I’m going to fill the ends of this one with Xtruder brand steel wool and call it a day.

This Garage seal worked perfect and installed with 2 people. Original seal would cost over $150.00 this was a great price and worked perfect.

The seal looks good quality, not had chance to fit yet,. It took a while to arrive due to the distance it was coming from (an oversight on my behalf).
