Joe Conti, our wonderful master tech, goes over a common question here at Precision Garage Doors. That question is, "can I replace the bottom seal/rubber on my garage door?". The answer is yes! However, you're going to need the right size bottom rubber in order for it to fit snugly on the door. Joe runs through how homeowners can replace the bottom rubber themselves.

Great Job Joe. This can help many homeowners who want to save some money doing it themselves.

What does one use to stop water from coming in? That is the issue I am dealing with, lots of water during a heavy Florida rain.

Thank for explaining everything in detail I was just trying to put weather strip in on the bottom of my door and the thing is the channel thickness is smaller than the Frost King bottom seal rubber that I bought at home Depot so I'm going to have to buy one with a thinner channel thickness, but thank you for explaining this otherwise I would not know why it doesn't fit

I've watched about 10 videos today on replacement of a bottom weatherseal .... This is far and away the best. Good job. Still trying to find weatherseal about 3" with 3/16th T ends.

No problem! Glad we could assist.

First time I replaced mine I did it by sliding it in. It wasn't fun. The last time I did it I used a heavier duty Bowsen brand. Their installation video shows to push the back edge into the track and then work the inside edge in. Then move to the front side and stick the back edge in, and then push the front edge in. At first I was using a plastic trim tool to push it in. Then I switched to a screen roller and it zipped right in. Worked out faster than trying to slide it. Last time I would get half way or more and it would pop out of the track when I tried to slide it.

Soapy water. Wd40 will collect grime.

@lizard944 2 года назад

Two clues that these people have no idea what they are talking about. 1). Recommending Wd40 which is solvent based and great at breaking down rubber. Anyone that recommends this to lube the retainer, don't walk away, RUN! Only use silicone spray or soapy water. 2). They have some kind of grease in the roller track which is a big no-no. Dries, collects dirt and hardens. Increases rolling resistance, especially in the winter. Only lubricate the roller bearings.

Great video, but unfortunately I have a wooden door that is flat on the bottom and does not have channels. Looks like the weatherstripping, which is now pretty broken up, was nailed on. Any tips or suggestions for replacing it? Thank you.

@tdog6612 9 месяцев назад

I have watched a few videos on this and no one has mentioned how much down travel should be on door so that the seal doesn’t get fully squished and then in short time, it gets misshaped.

@geoffreyluce9254 9 месяцев назад

Hi Joe, thanks again for your video a couple of years ago. Is there a way to take a measure tape to help decide what size stripping you need? Thx.

@mykalimba Год назад

This T-channel stuff looks like a piece of cake to replace. I just replaced my double-wide garage door seal, and it has what's called a "P bulb" type channel. What a major pain in the backside it was to replace.

@melabshier5812 Год назад

Nothing about Bead type? I have a Taylor door. I need to replace the bottom rubber. Your explanation on how to install may still work on Bead style but for us "rookies" it would be helpful to know what to do and give us confidence. Or maybe a separate Bead style video so those who do a search go straight to it. Just an idea.

@codymcclure7362 9 месяцев назад

So if you have a steel door with a t channel and wood accents on the outside of the door what can you use to fill the gaps on the front bottom sides?

@anuroop9100 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. I did the same exact thing. But now, the door is a standing a few centimetres up frm the ground and the latch is not falling in to close the door. I think this is because of the thickness of the rubber. How do i fix it ?

@erntam1990 2 года назад

Have you try adjusting the closing limits of your garage door opener?

@mdmyer 2 года назад

Can you just cut a piece off the old one and take it in and match it?

@PrecisionGarageDoorTriState 2 года назад

Yes, of course! That's honestly probably the best way to do it.

@d.m.4815 2 года назад

Is there a secret spot where the manufacturer’s name is located?

@rockyraccoon8270 2 года назад

yeah that keep it at the factory where it won't wear out.

@PrecisionGarageDoorTriState 2 года назад

usually it's at the bottom right or left panel.

@bekind8243 3 месяца назад

Where can you buy the seal that has different t-channel sizes?

@DaDaDo661 Месяц назад

Amazon

I have a garage door that needs the bottom rubber replaced, but there is a portion of the door that has been damaged, and in the current condition it won't be possible to get past that area. Is it possible to repair the section of the door that is damaged, or am I looking at replacing the entire door?

@PrecisionGarageDoorTriState 2 года назад

There's a chance that you can just replace the section, but you'll have to figure out who manufactured the door. If it's a common door type, then you can possibly call the manufacturer and see if they'd have the right panel size for your door. But if you cannot figure out the manufacturer, then it might be time for a new door.

I just replaced Bottom Rubber Seal and it sticks to the the painted floor and makes motor work a lot harder to break that sticking. Any solution to that? I am in Florida and my garage door exposed to the sun.

@PrecisionGarageDoorTriState Год назад

You can purchase Slick It! It's a lubricator for your bottom rubber and weather seal, you apply is similar to a deodorant. That should do the trick!
