Heavy-Duty U+O Ring Universal Garage Door Bottom Seals Weatherstrip Weather Stripping Rubber with Aluminum Track Retainer Kit, Black (20FT, 1-5/8" Width)

The idiots that installed the garage doors in our 30 year old house cut the bottom garage door seals too short and created a perfect rodent entry point into our garage. I looked at a number of alternative replacement seals and this is what I finally chose.I purchased the 20' long x 1-5/8" wide seal to replace both seals on my qty 2, 9' wide garage doors. The aluminum rails that mount to the bottom of the door were easy to trim to the correct length using my table saw equipped with a carbide tipped blade. The self tapping stainless screws worked perfectly on my metal door panels and the entire installation took about 4 hours.Time will tell how these hold up but my first impression is favorable.The Bowsen kit came with clear installation instructions and all the parts were high quality and installation went smoothly with a little planning and care.Similar kits show the rubber seal installing by sliding into the rail slots from the side but typically there is no room to accomplish this without a lot of extra work.The rubber seal installed in the slots in the aluminum rails by seating one leg into the slot and using a flat screw driver blade to press the other leg in and this worked well.Overall, I highly recommend this repair kit.

I ordered the seal complete with the metal mounting brackets as I wasn’t sure the seal would fit in my existing door bottom mount. In the end we were able to fit the seal onto my existing door bottom mount. I considered installing the provided mounts but they were impractical as I have a metal clad insulated door with a hollow joint space along the bottom to facilitate lapping with the next door section, leaving a poor mounting surface. Installing the seal was accomplished by sliding it in the mounting bracket from one end after removing the old seal and taking the bracket off the door for ease of access. It was a pain but eventually successful with the liberal use of dish soap as lubricant. I like the finished product. Much better seal than the old one and I didn’t even have to adjust the door opener or garage door mounts. Very happy with finished product.

Works good.

The OE Wayne Dalton door seal is not very good, and no good replacement is available. The steel track on the bottom of the door is very narrow, thin, and not flat. Installed this kit with 3/16" pop rivets and it lines up perfectly and is very tight. I did two 10' doors with this kit and installed the first one with the screws, the second one with rivets. Went back and replaced the screws in the first one with rivets.

In use for 5 months now and is working great. Easy to install works great keeps water, dirt, and critters out. Stays flexible in cold weather (below 0). Looks nice.
