There's a video out that you measure to the outside tracks and cut to that length and then notch the edge to fit around the tracks. But thanks for the viy😊
Excellent video. I took the trouble to run a sander with 40 grit paper over the length to clean up 20+ years of slight buildup then came into the house to jump on RU-vid to find some tips on what to do next. Your video was my pot of gold! Answered any questions, I may have had, plus I'm even using the same adhesive and rubber seal. Thank you so much!!
I'm gonna try using one of those without glueing it so I can move it out of the way when I need to. Don't know if it will work, but gonna try it. I wash my car inside the garage and would have the opposite issue if one of those was permanent.
@@29outlaw i wonder if u could run a piece of steel or rebar down it to keep it more rigid, so it wouldn't try to coil up and would stay straight. Or could you attach it to the garage door somehow? IDK
Thanks for including the subtleties and nuances of the installation. I'm getting ready to install my strip, after first trying to build up a berm where the water was entering from one side, using concrete patch, then resorting to sand bags; neither of which worked after experiencing the bomb cyclone this week. I would want the seal to start from the very edges of the strip, so I will apply the adhesive like you demonstrated, as rows running parallel. Thank you for the video.
My question, how did this last over just one year. Did it slip, when you drove over it? Do you have harsh winters and it failed or did the adhesive failed or did is stay in place?
@@paulsccna2964 no problems to date, hasn't moved at all, I do abuse it, drag low profile floor jacks over it often, hasn't torn or moved. Lows of -31 one winter, often -20F at night. Upper 90s in summer so big temp changes for sure. I would do the exact same thing again
Thanks for your detailed installation video. My rubber door seal arrives today. Do you think it would have worked well to use a cut-off wheel to remove the bottom portion of door track - just enough for the seal to slip under? Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
That's a really good idea, that way the seal could stay intact. Funny thing, I just moved, and my new garage is leaking melted snow in like crazy, I need to put these seals on my garage floor! But it's super cold here , so I'm going to wait till spring to put mine in . Try to do it when it's warm as possible during the day. Thanks for watching, good luck.
@@anesthesiadreamin I wish you great luck with your new home. This is not my original idea, someone suggested it on another RU-vid video. It made complete sense to me! I wondered what you thought. I'm going to try it.... Take care and thanks again.
@@stevebaretta1 You might find a glue/ adhesive that would work at that temperature. But maybe more importantly is the malleability and flexibility of the seal, so it doesn't recoil or move around after you lay it down. Hey, thanks for watching and bringing up a good point 👍
Huh. Mine hasn't moved yet., Even the edges are still stuck down. In fact I was winching in my winch cable across it the other day, and the hook got stuck on it, and it didn't rip it up like I thought it should have LOL. Did gorilla recommend something else of their product line?
@@anesthesiadreamin interesting, no they recommended I reach out to the manufacturer or the threshold for the recommendation of adhesive. I have what you used and thanks what I will be using. Thanks!!
@@BKfiremedic Great, I hope it works out for you as well as it has for me. Can you use too much? IDK, but I wanted to see it sort of just beginning to squish out the edges, so I knew for sure the edges were glued well. But then it leaves a colored seam along the edge of the black seal. Not sure how to fix this, maybe a squeegee? Lemme know if you learn any tricks. Thanks for watching and for the good question!
