THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER WITHOUT A LOUD MUSIC BACKGROUND. THIS WILL HELP ME REPLACE MINE.
You forgot to mention the biggest and best tip. The screw on each end are 9 times out of 10, screwed to tight which bends the track and won't let the rubber seal slide in the track. Bend the track carefully where the screw has pushed the track causing the rubber seal to not slide freely. A flat head screwdriver or stiff putty knife is what I use too bend the track carefully into place.
Woah, easy on the caps lock.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
Before buying a new seal, remove the old one and measure the width of the “T” that goes in the tracks. Many replacement seals are 5/16” and will not fit in 1/4” tracks, even with lubricant. I wasted money cutting one to length from Home Depot thinking these were universal.
Thanks for that too.
Thanks, exactly what I’m going through right now on my “universal” seal.
Exactly! Also, you may not even have a T shaped seal. After ordering a 3/16 and a 1/4 T seal, I realized I in fact had a dove tail shaped 3/16 seal. It maybe a Wayne Dalton
Take a sample with you to the store. 😊
A couple of tips
first remove all screws.
Second slit the old seal down the middle.
Third use a spray bottle with warm water with about 4 drops of dish soap shake it and spray the tracks and old seal , it will slide right out.
Fourth Spray the new seal with the soapy water
Fifth use a toilet paper roll to curv the new seal into position and slide it in. everything about ten minutes. The soap lubricates the rubber and allows it to slide easily.
This is more in line with the pros I watched. You should do a video. Much more precise! Thanks Coy!
@@avalanwa thank you! I am more into the tech side than the front of camera side. I have seen so many people do videos the wrong way, just turn on the camera and start talking, and moving the camera around giving me vertigo. Not having a mic close to them, you can barely hear them, while they ramble on jumping from one thing to another. If i did videos, i would prepare a script, shooting angles, and done properly, takes a while.
The two presenters that I like best are Steve Lehto, a lemon car Lawyer, who loves cars and, Mustie1 who repairs small engines, small motorcycles, and VWs. They are both very good!
Hi Coy, when you say slit the old seal down the middle do you mean the part in the track or dividing the 2 edges. Thanks in anticipation
@@marlenachetwynd2925He's talking about the OLD rubber seal that's still attached to the garage.. Cut it the long way so there's two separated equal parts (doesn't need to be perfect since you're throwing it out). That way you're pulling/sliding one side of the rubber piece off the track instead of both of them at the same time.
After removing the old seal ,I had wiped down the tracks to remove the dirt and a few shots of WD-40 ,the new seal was in like Flynn.
Thanks you for a straightforward, non blabbering, perfect tutorial. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this. Followed your instructions, and I did it! I lubricated the track with Tide, an old auto repair trick. Installed the whole way with just my two hands.
I bought a garage weather-strip that required nails or screws to install. Thankfully, I watched this video before installing it. I returned the wrong strip and bought the correct one, saving myself a lot of pain. Great work, Shannon! Keep it up.
Was looking for instruction on replacing my torn garage door strip and was relieved to see you had a video on this. Love all your videos. You cover most, if not all, the possible scenarios well. thank you!
Thanks Shannon! Didn't know this was so simple. I'm going to check mine today to make sure winter goes smoothly for me.
Foam rope inside the rubber strip is a great idea. Thanks man. You are the Positive Energy always.
Good tip at the end. I use Frost King Poly Foam Caulk Saver rope that also provides a cushion when it hits the concrete.
Just wanted to say thank you for the vinyl siding videos you made a while back. I was able to finally get the gable ends of my 1910 workshop weatherproof and they look nice, too. Thanks for the videos. Very helpful.
you are welcome
Glad to hear you suggest the "foam rope" (or foam backing rod) I plan to replace my seal today, and I actually bought a 5/8 rod for that same purpose! My floor isn't too bad, but we had a mouse problem and I suspect one of the places they get in is under the loose spots in the door seal. I'm hoping the foam will give it a bit more body and fill those gaps, but couldn't find any reference to it until I watched this video.
I knew you from your speaking that you're from good old Saskatchewan before I even read about your location. Great people in that province! Thanks for the help!
Great video! Thanks for the tip on how to deal with an uneven floor! Good stuff. Thanks again.
Thank you for explain about foam rope for uneven floor. That is really helpful.
Thanks for making this. Video’s like yours are so helpful for homeowners who aren’t the most “handy”
Much respect from 🇨🇦
Update: very simple to do with help of one person cupping and feeding and one person pulling it along the track.
Done in about five minutes
Your videos are always informative and helpful on such a diverse line of topics. Much appreciated.
I didn’t know it was going to be this easy, to replace the rubber seal on a garage door! Thank you
My FAVORITE DIY home improvement channel. Thanks Shannon!
Wow, thank you!
The uneven floor of my garage was the exact question I wanted to ask and then you nailed it with the foam rope idea.. thx
Did this work for filling your gaps?? I just installed a new seal and I have a 1/2" gap of light still coming through on one side.
Finally a simple, easy to understand demo.
Thanks, Shawn. I just replaced my rubber seal for the first time after 19 years in this new house. Yes. I did it alone The end is twisted tightly, so you might want to start at the end because may come out of one side of the track. If that happens don't panic, then you need to use a flat tip screwdriver to reseat it. Extra pipe insulation helps with the unleveled floor as well. The insulation also helps with mice. Add some 100% peppermint to the inside of your garage door and you are good to go. Thanks for that great tip!
My 🫶👣🫶🫶👣😕😊🎉
Thank you very much , I had no idea how simple this could be. My daughter and I can diy!
Thank you!! My husband was going to take down the entire t-track. I knew it had to be easier than that.
thanks for the video with details and the additional information on the foam rope . I am certainly looking forward to doing it myself now so glad i can save the installation charges
Good info. Mine was exactly like this. It took all of 15 minutes to replace, including prep and cleanup.
Having never done one before, this video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks for the information.
Great video. As somebody mentioned below, you absolutely want to add a little silicone lubricant to the tracks to help the seal slide through much easier. Also, you want to check the width of the seal itself. I went to my local big-box hardware store and bought a seal, brought it home and mounted it only to find out it wasn't getting a good seal with the floor. Took it back out and measured the width to 2.5"..... measured the old seal and saw it was 3.5". Took it back and bought the wider version. Now everything is good. Thanks for the video!
He actually mentioned the silicone lubricant in the video
Good video Shannon as I'm sure there are a few people that had no idea you could replace that weather strip. Thumbs-Up..As Always.
I had no idea. I thought I needed a new garage door. So pricey so I looked for ways to repair and came across these videos. The first one I watched was teaching all wrong so thank you very much. .
Good tip on pushing foam rope inside the weather strip, I have done this on one end of mine only, to even out the contact across the width. I could always hear air rushing out under the door seal before, but not since I fattened up the seal with the foam. Thanks, good uploads here.
You have a photo of the form rope? Pool noodle???
This video was great!!! I just replaced mine and without your video I would not have known what to do. I had trouble pulling out the old strip for 20 minutes. But I reached the point where I went to one end and grabbed it with two hands and pulled with all my might. I also used WD and soap and water to lubricate the track to make it easier to pull. Now that it’s installed I see that there is a little gap between the floor and trim. So I will use your suggestion for foam rope to help fill out those small gaps. Hopefully it won’t be that hard to slide through.
Thanks.
Great tip on using 3/4" backer rod! I found it at Lowes in the concrete section. My 15 year old seals are puffed out like they are brand new!
didn't see that tip, can you elaborate? thx
Hey Sean, you're my favorite contractor... you helped me on a minor rehab in Portland, and you did an amazing job!!! Wilson
J P Very informative Shannon. I did not realized it was so easy to do and the trick to put a foam rope inside the weather strip to make it more rigid.
Great video, just what the Doctor ordered, I've been putting this task off simply because of the unknown and surprise element, you made it look so easy, so now I'm going to man up and get the job done, keep the videos coming! 👍
I did not know I needed to do this but I will run to my local hardware store tomorrow morning. Thanks!
I was so happy when i saw that it was you doing the video, love your explanations
I'm subscribed to your channel and 5 minutes before I opened my phone and started to watched TH-cam my wife and me where just talking about it lol.
Very good informational video.
I swear by the 1" foam rope / rod backing. It certainly seals up nice.
Thanks for this simple fix. I’m a widow and am always looking for quick tips. This should keep the mice out looking for warmth. 👍
Excellent, gives me some work to do during the Covid-19 lockdown. Cape Town, South Africa. . God Bless.
Thank you brother, your video saved me a lot of time and headaches!
Thanks. I've never done this job before and this helped me a lot.
Thank you. It worked just fine following your instructions. 😊
Most helpful. Per your recommendation, silicon spray made is simple to do by myself
Great videos, was just looking at mine last week and wondering how to change it!
Exactly what I needed to know as always. Thank you.
Just the right timing because I need to do it to mine before winter.
Thanks so much for the great video... Very useful for my upcoming garage door project!
Great job Shannon.
Thank you ......I do it tomorrow. ......answers all the questions. .....
Only video I could find with the plastic track. Thanks for this video you, you just saved me lots of money by doing it myself instead of calling a garage repair guy. Cheers!
Perfect. Thank you.
You have great tips and tricks in your videos. This one seemed pretty straight fwd but just wanted to watch ICIMA. Have a great Navy day~!
thank you for this vid, really helped my confidence with this project!
I like the way you showed it in the way you are gave good advice thanks
Awesome thank you just bought a replacement today
Another great video, thanks for sharing.
Perfect. Thanks for the video.
Worked perfect. Thanks!
Have a buddy wanting his replaced , now I know how . Thanks
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Good and informative video. My next project. Thanks
Thanks, very helpful. Good camera work too!
That idea of a rope inside the tube was a good suggestion. I have that issue with uneven floor slab in a small job I did. The other challenge I encountered was that I could not slide the tube through as you showed because the door track was up agains the wall on both sides of the door so I had y3o improvise to get the tube in.
Amazon has seals with a round section in the center and its thicker then the one you have. Really nice seal and a little harder to install due to all that.
Great idea on the foam inside seal thank you so much
Thanks for the video! Very helpful
THANK YOU FOR A GREAT VIDEO VERY HELPFUL. GOD BLESS
this was very helpful....thank you
thank you so much sir, now my GRADGE is perfectly insulated =)
Thanks Shannon. This is helpful
thanks for the help!
Loved your clear, to-the-point, useful tutorial. Subscribed! And thanks.
Thanks for the sub!
The tip at the very end was very helpful. The cement drive way at my home was poured with a bit of a crown causing the door seal to not seat properly. The foam rope tip will fix that. Great video. Thanks.
Excellent!
How does the foam rope work?? I just installed a new seal and there is still light shining through on one enc.
The best and most accurate video I've seen on how to replace the garage seal.
Thank you for this video, I plan to replace it tomorrow.
Good luck!
Thanks for the video. I've considered changing mine, but I've never got around to doing so.
Perfect! Great video
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I'll call my grandson over tomorrow!
Awesome video and rip at the end for uneven floors!!!! Thx!!
Glad you liked it!
Great job ! Thank you !
Thanks.... I probably would have been trying to remove the plastic track from the bottom of the garage door. Replacement looks like it's much simpler than I would have thought...
I decided to try this method because it was so much simpler and it was OK. It was a hot day and the seal was pliable.
Great help. Thanks.
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you ! Big help😊
Really well made video.
