Brianna: So, first of all if you have a sectional garage door putting this weather stripping on the bottom tract is a chore. I had to remove the bottom section of the door just to place it and that caused more problems then it was worth. Come to find out that the best way to put it on is to lower the door to about five feet off the ground and then remove the section of tracks on both side to get better access to the bottom on the door to place the rubber weather striping. So after all said and done, it does seal well.

Medatswho: Product is great, only a 4/5 rating due to I find it abit softer then expected but still a good product.
Product does the job excellent, seals and fits perfect as advertised.
A bit tricky to install, I ended up putting one side in first completed then "slivered" in the second part (tee) channel with a small screwdriver. Left both ends an inch long and works great.
Price is fair for the product.

Lee Brown: This feels twice a thick as the original seal on my 10ft door. The addition of the inner tube makes it all that much better. Install was easy but really needs two people to get the last 3ft in. My wife kept the U shape and fed the seal as I pulled with pliers from the other end. I did use the dish liquid to lubricate. I had to reset the down position of my door opener because this seal is so robust. Make sure you buy the correct T slot size. I cut a little off of my old one and used calipers to make sure I was ordering the right size. Highly recommended.

La La: I had to change the garage door rubber seal and tried to get one from home depot that didn't work and it was very cheaply made. I found this here and it is SOLID. VERY durable materials. It is soft BUT very very well made. It has dual layer protection. If u are reading this and needing to replace your garage door rubber, MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN the dirt, debris from the previous rubber first thoroughly then apply some soap water around the rubber edge and then install it. IT REQUIRES DEFINITELY 2 PEOPLE!!

Jim: My garage weatherstrip has worn out and with winter approaching I thought I would replace it. Reading the review, this one came highly recommended so I thought I would give it a try. Order the wrong T-side and got the right one. This job, as mentioned by others, required two persons. Since I live alone and did not want to be a bother, I attempted to do it myself. It was a fight but i didn't give up and finally got it installed. The main problem is the T liked to jump out of the track. After two hours or fighting it, lubing the track with lithium grease, spraying with silicone, I came up with the following:
1. Sprayed the track liberally with either lithium grease or silicone spray to lower the friction.
2. Insert T into the track.
3. Push and pull the seal, push first to start, then pull once it is half way through the track.
4. If the T jumps off the track, and it does often, use a flat head screwdriver to poke it back into the track. I wasted one hour to pull it back and retread. Wish I had done this earlier.

Once installed, it looks perfect, adjust the down distance on the garage opener, and i am ready to rock. it is worth a fight. If you have two persons, it...

CPACPA: I liked very much this Garage Door Bottom seal. I highly recommend this product. As you can see in these pictures it's hard to put this bottom seal alone, but as you can see you can do it using this zip tie. The result is amazing. High quality.

FG: I had a very old bottom seal on the garage door that was essentially crushed, torn and sections were missing. Just be sure to order the correct T size turned out mine was 1/4 inch versus the 5/16 which did not fit. I was able to easily remove the old, seal and this one was while not difficult, tough to get in. You really need two people. I did clean out the grooves with a brush and then sprayed some silicone to make it easier to slide in with two people. It was done in under 10 minutes and works great. Easy product to install, hopefully will last a long time and definitely seals the garage door against the concrete.

JPK: Wow… took a bit to install (and two of us… one pushing and the other pulling), but what a great replacement this was from what we originally had on our door. We did have to update the “sensitivity” sensor on our garage door opener simply based on the extra thickness. Seals exceptionally well… will keep weather and critters out! Very happy!

DH: Installed these on a insulated Coplay brand garage door. It myself guiding the gasket into the track while my kids pulled on it to slide it in. I had to crimp each of the tracks about 1/64th of an inche with a pair of channel locks as the feet of the extrusion were a little narrow then what the OEM track. Once installed with worked and looks great, I'm really happy with it.

Advice - I smeared dish soap on the length of the entire bead that goes into the track to help it slide; it made a huge difference.
